I swear if i ever become a millionaire im gonna build a statue of this guy in times square cause he seriously is revolutionizing humanity into a cleaner and better civilization. One step closer to a Utopian planet...
I was at the Tesla store at Century City Westfield mall 2 weeks ago...and Elon was there with his family. Stupid me, I didn't know who he was until he had left and a lady behind us was gawking excitedly to the Tesla salesperson about him... It's like being an Apple fanboy and not knowing who Steve Jobs was.... I'm a fool....
Recently I've noticed how most recently established car companies have gone down the drain, but Tesla, despite its financial problems in its development stages, has kept up real well. I always trusted in Tesla, and once I am wealthy enough to buy a Model S or once Tesla begins making some smaller, more affordable cars, I'm buying one even though its not the usual petrol engine that I prefer. Tesla is brilliant.
I love how he says Tesla will never make a bad product even if it makes them money. Too many companies make pieces of shit just because it can get some profit.
I don't mind my Tesla share price goes down or up, I care more on the future of humanity. Elon is the man and I encourage him to continue his daring and philanthropic ways.
I really respect this guys commitment to his cars. I think they're well built cars. Certainly the best electric cars made. Try & get Mr Honda or Mr Ford to go on TV & make these promises. I think he's honest
Now Tesla is the most valuable car company and Elon is the richest person in the world. And I am telling you guys he will be the world's first Trillioner.
New technology is always riskier because it would require a lot of regulating and installing new chargers throughout the country, which would cost a lot of money. The government is fully aware of the environmental issues pertaining to pollution caused by gas-fueled cars. He is also guaranteeing it because of the financial crisis (2008) that Tesla was facing as many others were. He put in almost all of his personal assets to ensure Tesla's success.
Thank you Elon Musk for personally creating Tesla despite all the risks and completion. Simply because I'm tired of feeling like taking hostage by big oil or in other words being kicked in the balls with no choice.Hopefully one day I could afford one, feeling more empowered to promote green energy while making a change for a cleaner future. Gracias por todo Elon M.
Коли робиш свою справу добре, коли саме це є твоєю головною метою - щоб твоє творіння було хорошим, якщо не найкращим, та віриш в майбутнє свого проекту, то обов'язково будеш успішним. Залишається сподіватись, що і у нас колись так буде... Елону удачі, він зробив справді прорив своїми ідеями, хоч в залізо й втілювали їх інші люди. Мінуси є в усьому, є вони і в його машин, проте у Тесла Моторс райдужне майбутнє, бо вони думають про нове майбутнє людства, та найголовніше вірять в це.
I feel Tesla should have a coupe version of the Model S to come out shortly after the Model X is available. Also, why no option for a rear seat with an armrest and cup holders? If the Model X does pass production with Falcon Wing doors, Tesla should make a version with normal doors for those who need roof racks. Also, they should come out with more interior and exterior colors, and soon. This variety can help ensure orders stay full before their lower cost, high volume car. Great product.
Go check out the Tesla Model S on their website. Their charging stations charge your Tesla for free, but you can also pay some money and have the battery swapped for a fully charged battery. That battery swap takes so little time you can switch more than two Tesla Model S batteries in the time it takes to fill a gasoline car with gasoline.
If you've followed him since solar city, hes seems to be a very shy dude when in front of cameras or on interviews. But man is this guy the real life tony stark!
A lot of people make that comparison. He is actually in Iron Man 2, and the Hammer Tech scenes were shot at his SpaceX building. Interesting bit of trivia.
Considering that Leafs are $45,000 cheaper than a base Model S, it would make more sense to just rent a car when going on long trips. Tesla should have started their own green rental company.
She's actually very good. She may ask a couple of obvious questions, but she's also very critical and doesn't fear asking potentially harmful questions like the part when she says she doesn't buy into the whole part about deducting costs from benefits of an EV. I love what Elon Musk stands for and I love Tesla (in fact I am a stock holder), but stop being such a fanboy and learn to accept that even in everything you love there usually is some flaw.
That may happen in the long run, but not for a long while because Tesla has brand loyalty, a big head start on product development, and a proven management team. Additionally, investors know that Tesla can deliver, so they will be happy to throw money at the company for shares in Tesla.
Hello,I proposed the quick change battery system where one could just drive into a battery station and switch out a car's battery(ies) in seconds. This would make having to drag around a huge battery pack for long distances unnecessary and having a smaller battery pack make more room in the vehicle. I also proposed the charge on the move system where a vehicle would be charged inductively from the roadbed while moving.,
The car is so simple in terms of moving parts count. What can go wrong? Car design is a well established technology now. It's even made of aluminum. There is nothing to worry about here
Ive read " Terms of the program had formerly included the option to sell back the car after 36 months for the same residual value percentage as the Mercedes S Class (after three years the S550 retains a Kelley Blue Book residual value of 47% of its $95,905 sticker price)" since the tesla has hardly any moving parts compared to internal combustion engine car with mufflers etc, value should be higher, but it would be cool to buy a tesla at mercedes resale, specially if its signed by Elon ;)
Because charging standards aren't hard enough, we're going to expect multiple car companies to have identical battery packs. Size. Shape. Voltage. Monitoring and Control. NOT.
This guy is an excellent CEO. He wants this company to succeed so much that he is investing a huge portion of his own money in Tesla. And not to mention he is hiring Americans, and all of the benefits of a car with no emissions and no need of foreign oil.
If you're trying to be a troll, I recommend you to do it less obvious. If not, please: - provide credible reasoning whenever you make a potentially offending claim - avoid all-caps sentences - exclude irrelevant matters (e.g. someones nationality)
why not making adding or removing battery packs easy for the owner....so if they only travel short distances most of the time they could just remove some of the batteries
kiwiokarma I think there is an option to go to Tesla and swap the battery. They do that on video faster than refueling gasoline, i forgot the name of video, sorry.
There's a more recent video where Elon says they'll be shipping out Model S's to Europe. The video's called: Half-priced Tesla Model S in 3-4 years. c:
So impressed with the car, Elon and the principles this company has applied. We are test driving one tonight. I'm ready to buy. Just need to convince my husband that we don't need to fit a canopy tent for our kids soccer games like we can in our SUV. The supercharge network will make a big difference for the company. We are in Seattle so well positioned for that. The Tesla SUV coming will be very appealing to us.
I also want to say, I believe the oil interests have an unhealthy relationship with the media and government and I'm fully expecting these entities to do all in their power to hurt Tesla. The oil industry has billions of dollars devoted to government lobbiests and and buckets of cash to pay-off media people and we would be naive to think these people will roll over and watch their cash cow die.
given the amount of weight a pick up has to haul, a hybrid would be better. Tesla doesn't do hybrids! Ford GMC and Chevy already have hybrid pick ups out there
Why would Tesla put shareholders at risk with a residual guarantee? I am all for offering a leasing program as over 50% of cars in the luxury category are leased, but why all the shenanigans?
LOL, bro you know his entire technology (developers etc) team are from India right? He couldn't find that talent in the US and went overseas. The US wants him to unionize the crap out of his company, but he's refusing to do so. That is what America is trying to do to his firm. Also, republican states don't want him to direct sell in their states. He's got a huge uphill battle. But he's going to do it, much respect for the man!! He's South African BTW.
elon you must start selling your tesla cars here in europe because we have higher gas prices, and if you make some supercharger stations we will go electric

You must be limited then.
@@walkertongdee thanks again Elon musk and your family and friends
Dude is the future.

TESLA has far exceeded expectations, there is now a waiting list for the Model S....I think that is true progress.
Elon Musk, the only honest man in business :P
.
Elon Musk is a hero, and Betty Liu is cuteee.
I swear if i ever become a millionaire im gonna build a statue of this guy in times square cause he seriously is revolutionizing humanity into a cleaner and better civilization. One step closer to a Utopian planet...
Did you do it?
i demand the statue now
Go, Tesla! Please expand to other markets real soon!
Good to know.. too bad it hasn't much presence in the asean market yet.. wish it'll happen soon
@@mikemagalong3161 I hope you're pleased with Tesla starting production in China today.
Wow! So many achievements for this man and his companies in the 6 years after this interview.
the looks of the car alone is worth 60k
I was at the Tesla store at Century City Westfield mall 2 weeks ago...and Elon was there with his family. Stupid me, I didn't know who he was until he had left and a lady behind us was gawking excitedly to the Tesla salesperson about him... It's like being an Apple fanboy and not knowing who Steve Jobs was.... I'm a fool....
musk looks more healthier on this video than recent ones. Musk is so tough that he can still handle 3 big companies at the same time
I love him too. My freaking hero for real! !!
Dude me too man.
Yes him and Dave Groehl
Tesla cars are worth it. you save on oil changes and many stupid things other cars have.

Expecting Orders for the Model 3 to exceed 600,000 in the first year, bankrupting Volkswagen.
Wrong
Elon works so hard, total dedication to sustainable zero carbon emissions transportation systems.
This reporter's questions were among the best I've heard asked of Elon. Great interview.
This guy is awesome fight all alone with the whole world cars gas componies. An Hero
This man is so cool. His genius is absurd.
I really respect this guys commitment to his cars. I think they're well built cars. Certainly the best electric cars made. Try & get Mr Honda or Mr Ford to go on TV & make these promises. I think he's honest
CEO in a T-shirt. I'm loving it. He is what this planet needs. Go Elon.
He starts off sounding unsure and a bit nervous. But knocks the interview out of the park.
lol you can tell she always likes talking to him
ejoshcoron i think she is being paid by him to promote their cars. iv noticed they always have interviews together.
+ejoshcoron who the fuck wouldnt?
+trainenthusiast well he does have billions, im sure he could do what ever the fuck he wants. you know buy and sell countries like its nothing lol
+ejoshcoron my dad worked on his car
ejoshcoron yea what's her name ?
Now Tesla is the most valuable car company and Elon is the richest person in the world. And I am telling you guys he will be the world's first Trillioner.
Let him go to sleep please
I love Elon Musk. Looooove him!!!

Mid or short range electric vehicles can work once a supercharger network proliferates, so that people can stop to refuel as needed.
Damn, you cannot bet against this guy. When he goes for something he goes all in.

This lady knows her stuff those questions point on. INON Elon is on stratosphere.
If you've followed him since solar city, hes seems to be a very shy dude when in front of cameras or on interviews.
But man is this guy the real life tony stark!
He will do it, the company just needs to meet its US goals, and start expanding through Canada, but Europe will get its turn!!
Betty Liu showing mastery in interview skills
Elon Musk is has an engineer spirit. the Solution to problem is the best solution, not one with the best profit! I love this man
A lot of people make that comparison. He is actually in Iron Man 2, and the Hammer Tech scenes were shot at his SpaceX building. Interesting bit of trivia.
If the price comes down next year, I might buy one.
Elon is a true disruptor. He is making waves throughout the Auto industry :)
Considering that Leafs are $45,000 cheaper than a base Model S, it would make more sense to just rent a car when going on long trips. Tesla should have started their own green rental company.
Smart reporter for a very Smart man
You too. I can't wait to see the more affordable electric car(s) that Tesla will be rolling out in years to come.
She's actually very good. She may ask a couple of obvious questions, but she's also very critical and doesn't fear asking potentially harmful questions like the part when she says she doesn't buy into the whole part about deducting costs from benefits of an EV.

That lady is in love with Elon lmao....is it not obvious..
One lifetime dream of myself is to drive a Tesla, sometime!
The P85 is CLEARLY the worlds best car!! It's perfect!!!
Hello,I proposed the quick change battery system where one could just drive into a battery station and switch out a car's battery(ies) in seconds.
This would make having to drag around a huge battery pack for long distances unnecessary and having a smaller battery pack make more room in the vehicle.
I also proposed the charge on the move system where a vehicle would be charged inductively from the roadbed while moving.,
he comes across as a highly credible, real, intelligent person. He's great!!
I wish more politicians could do this..
its not in the politician's blood
Excellent interview and of course Elon was at his best.
BTW,that lady who was interviewing is just adorable :)
He is definitely a philanthropist. Selective memory at its finest.
The car is so simple in terms of moving parts count. What can go wrong? Car design is a well established technology now. It's even made of aluminum. There is nothing to worry about here
I'm not sure if I'm confusing what he's said with stuff I've heard on the Forums but I think he's talked about it getting 200-300 miles of range
Ive read " Terms of the program had formerly included the option to sell back the car after 36 months for the same residual value percentage as the Mercedes S Class (after three years the S550 retains a Kelley Blue Book residual value of 47% of its $95,905 sticker price)" since the tesla has hardly any moving parts compared to internal combustion engine car with mufflers etc, value should be higher, but it would be cool to buy a tesla at mercedes resale, specially if its signed by Elon ;)

we should call her lithium ion betty
actually both is true...he is in Cal for all the reasons you say but he doesn't give a toss about SA.
If you're trying to be a troll, I recommend you to do it less obvious.
If not, please:
- provide credible reasoning whenever you make a potentially offending claim
- avoid all-caps sentences
- exclude irrelevant matters (e.g. someones nationality)
He has accomplished alot in three years. She is a strong supporter which helps.
Good job !! I personally love model X and I will get one next year, battery swap is amazing
He is superhuman.
Every success of Musk is victory of humanity.
why not making adding or removing battery packs easy for the owner....so if they only travel short distances most of the time they could just remove some of the batteries
lol
kiwiokarma
I think there is an option to go to Tesla and swap the battery. They do that on video faster than refueling gasoline, i forgot the name of video, sorry.
Apparently it only takes 90 secs to change the battery.
Why not,it would reduce prices across the board and make a lot of good things possible.
There's a more recent video where Elon says they'll be shipping out Model S's to Europe. The video's called: Half-priced Tesla Model S in 3-4 years. c:
Elon Musk is a badass
revolutionizing our world, what a legend.
World most amazing man
I think we can all agree that common sense suggests that Elon and his ideas is the future
what a bright mind
Please replace gas stations for some good supercharger stations. Go elon. Make Tesla's dream become a reality :)
What about people that buy the Nissan Leaf to replace their second car? It must be an appealing option for them.
So impressed with the car, Elon and the principles this company has applied. We are test driving one tonight. I'm ready to buy. Just need to convince my husband that we don't need to fit a canopy tent for our kids soccer games like we can in our SUV. The supercharge network will make a big difference for the company.

Anyone here from 2018?
yes
yeah boy model 3 is finally getting close to 5k
Model 3
Hey Akula... you are right! Stock is 129 a share right now....
So, if the 40kWh is hobbled at 140 miles, does that mean Bluestar will be at least 200 miles?
you're kidding right. Elon Musk is a business man.
Troll? you might want to re-read comments before commenting on them. I said he invested his money in his company. I have huge respect for the guy.
I totaly agree. BTW didn't he have something to do with Paypal?
That's with most of his interviews. He is not that great at public speaking but he has definitely improved over the years
Right under the noses of Model S users... I reckon he means an update to the autopilot feature.
Have anyone notice The villain in the new Thor movie flies around with the Tesla logo. lol
Someone must really be scared of Tesla Motors.
I also want to say, I believe the oil interests have an unhealthy relationship with the media and government and I'm fully expecting these entities to do all in their power to hurt Tesla. The oil industry has billions of dollars devoted to government lobbiests and and buckets of cash to pay-off media people and we would be naive to think these people will roll over and watch their cash cow die.
What a gent, Keep up the good work bro
given the amount of weight a pick up has to haul, a hybrid would be better. Tesla doesn't do hybrids! Ford GMC and Chevy already have hybrid pick ups out there
I don't know what you guys are talking about she has some really hard hitting questions
May Elon be met with great success and better still may he take humanity to the next frontier, space.
What does he mean by SEC approved it for tweeter announcements ? What’s the regulation?
and space! What a guy!
Why would Tesla put shareholders at risk with a residual guarantee? I am all for offering a leasing program as over 50% of cars in the luxury category are leased, but why all the shenanigans?
This should be more known, and guys like him.
"Right under your nose" - the nose of the car, the refreshed nose of the Model S. Elon - the memes!
LOL, bro you know his entire technology (developers etc) team are from India right? He couldn't find that talent in the US and went overseas.
