heads up: more roadblocks for Tesla

i'm pretty fascinated with what Tesla is trying to accomplish, it's the biggest launch of anything since we launched a man to the moon and i'm paying attention to it.

anyhoo,
Tesla just lost another 2 key executives, in addition to the several that have bolted the company in recent months. the latest 2 were the top brass overseeing production.

Musk's reaction to that was to bump up the timetable to hit 500,000 cars built to 2018 from 2020.

the bigger hurdle is the fact that the $7500 tax subsidy on Teslas will expire before any model 3s come to market. that automatically makes the base price jump from $35,000 to $42,500.
