I think the Banks will want the lithium. Then they can control the price. One way to clip Elon's ambitions..... but then he's bound to have beaten them to it.
TESLA Q & A worth a listen. edge.media-server.com/m/p/bbz2caea/?token=2pwml55xzes8v5knyvuey995nf9yh5deuhn2hb1czrfxld642305826
Elon Musk.... there's things on the cards you don't know about yet....
I did like the callers on the Tesla conference. ... Deutche Bsnk, JP Morgan etc. TESLA on par with petrol engines in 10 years and most likely quicker than that. What if the banks bought up the lithium? Controlling production of batteries. Elon better get those mines bought up fast.
 HIGH-TECH AND HIGH PERFORMANCE ELECTRIC CARS – E.G. TESLA MOTORS If your company would go bankrupt because it cannot survive in the current economic scheme, do you think the government would bail you out? Of course not. But the US government bailed out 3 gas-car manufacturers: GM, Ford and Chrysler. They’ve officially received $25 billion ($700 billion unofficially, as documents show) from OUR tax money because we don’t want to buy their cars anymore! How corrupt and absurd is that? If there is no global financial conspiracy, then why are they bailing out environmentally-polluting obsolete companies, instead of investing the money in Eco-friendly companies, like Tesla Motors for example? Elon Musk is the founder and CEO of Tesla Motors. He is a 40 years old South African engineer and entrepreneur, and his financial worth is a little more than half a billion dollars. The company’s worth is of only ~ $250 million. That’s such a tiny amount compared to $700 billion, don’t you think? Yet, he was able to achieve so much, with so little. Tesla Motors is named after electrical engineer and physicist Nikola Tesla (mankind’s greatest inventor). The Tesla vehicles use an AC electric motor descended directly from Tesla’s original 1882 design. Tesla Model S (starting price $49,000 — deliveries just recently started); Features: 0-60 mph in 5.6 to 6.5 seconds, depending on the model. Comes with three battery types, 40, 60 and 80 kWh, and an estimated range of 160, 230 and 300 miles/charge. If you want to see how much a full “tank†costs, choose a battery type and multiply it with the kWh’s price of your area. Fully electric, 7 seats, 2 trunks, 17″ central touch screen display, 0 tailpipe emissions, no engine noise, full instant torque. The car accelerates from 0-60 mph in 6.5 sec, 5.9 sec, 5.6 sec, or 4.4 sec. for the top model. That’s faster than many of the sport cars. Tesla Model X (starting price of about $60,000 — deliveries will begin early 2014) – the company’s first SUV; Features: 0-60 mph in less than 5 seconds (faster than a Porsche 911). The most sophisticated 4×4 traction control system in the world, two electric motors, + 50% torque improvements. You will be able to choose from two battery types, 60 and 85 kWh. Fully electric, 7 seats, 2 trunks, 17″ central touch screen display, 0 tailpipe emissions, no engine noise, full instant torque. My question is, why are we not giving the $25/$700 billion to Tesla Motors (or split it between all Electric Vehicle companies) for researching even more advanced clean technology, instead of bailing out environmentally-damaging and financially unsustainable companies? Because the global elite has big money invested in oil and oil-consuming car companies.
Tesla... is more about batteries and free energy. Clue is in the name... Expect some scaremongering and bad press from the oil fed Pigs....
Will the Saudis buy up vast quantities of Lithium.... be rude not too. I can see it going on the commodity markets too.
Tesla Charging..... get a little diesel generator from Machine Mart.... stick it in the boot.....
