I had heard essentially that they are still only producing one car a week (remember the 1 car/week and ramping up to 40/week thing from back in january). That means that to date they should have produced TEN cars. If they only have 4 out there then its far worse than what i have heard. The problem comes when youy just start adding the numbers.. At 1 car/week the company with its reported size and employees is hemmoraging money and I believe the purported number is 10/week just to break even at this point. In the mean time they are simply eating away the venture capital.
I talked to someone who supplies parts to tesla and what I heard does not sound very good for the company. Lets just say I would be very interested to hear of anyone who has a tesla and what sort of issues the car has had.

Did you see the silver one in the CIR parking lot the night of the Car Club Challenge? It was parked next to a 360 Modena Spider. I checked it out and the fit/finish was better than I expected (i.e. WAY better than the Lotus). It had IL plates so at least one person around here has one.
