Thanks. Interesting.

What caught my ear was the 'clunker' program, where they give you a car and a credit card to buy gas. It gets triple billed and the other 2/3 goes to pay off the car. So you pay less for gas and there's no car payment. Win-squared.

The other thing was that the factory churns out 7 colors times two transmissions and nothing else. These go to seven regional fulfillment centers where the 'dealer-installed' options are installed. Daily between 9pm and midnight. For delivery the last 900 miles.

That's different.

My recollection is that he talks about one separate path and then waves his hand. 'not the droids...'

Some people who grumble about their hand in the gobberment pocket would note that they are asking for 167/500ths of what Fisker and Tesla already got.
