It seems that Tesla intends to go public!

This is way too early in their business model to go IPO. Something doesn't sound right here, especially with GM and Nissan starting large-scale production of EVs about the same time. Tesla's issues aren't technical, they're in scaling the product once the initial buzz goes away.

It sounds like a plan for the initial owners to get some money and get out. I wonder how soon we can short this. ;)

struck me as funny, "short"ing the stock of an electric car company. I know, I should get a life, lol.

Kudos to you. I actually didn't catch that when I wrote it.
