What I’m trying to do is, is to make a significant difference in space flight. And help make space flight accessible to almost anyone.
The reason we should do a carbon tax is because it’s the right thing to do. It’s economics 101, elementary stuff.
The fuel cell is just a fundamentally inferior way of delivering electrical energy to an electric motor than batteries.
Tesla is here to stay and keep fighting for the electric car revolution.
Some companies out there quote a start of production that is substantially in advance of when customers get their cars.
Winning ‘Motor Trend’ Car of the year is probably the closest thing to winning the Oscar or Emmy of the car industry.
You could warm Mars up, over time, with greenhouse gases.
Even if producing CO2 was good for the environment, given that we’re going to run out of hydrocarbons, we need to find some sustainable means of operating.
Boeing just took $20 billion and 10 years to improve the efficiency of their planes by 10 percent. That’s pretty lame. I have a design in mind for a vertical liftoff supersonic jet that would be a really big improvement.
Automotive franchise laws were put in place decades ago to prevent a manufacturer from unfairly opening stores in direct competition with an existing franchise dealer that had already invested time, money and effort to open and promote their business.

My vision is for a fully reusable rocket transport system between Earth and Mars that is able to re-fuel on Mars – this is very important – so you don’t have to carry the return fuel when you go there.
A battery by definition is a collection of cells. So the cell is a little can of chemicals. And the challenge is taking a very high-energy cell, and a large number of them, and combining them safely into a large battery.
You need to be in the position where it is the cost of the fuel that actually matters and not the cost of building the rocket in the first place.
Selling an electric sports car creates an opportunity to fundamentally change the way America drives.
Self-driving cars are the natural extension of active safety and obviously something we should do.
I’m personally a moderate and a registered independent, so I’m not strongly Democratic or strongly Republican.
I’m glad to see that BMW is bringing an electric car to market. That’s cool.
I’m a Silicon Valley guy. I just think people from Silicon Valley can do anything.
I’d like to dial it back 5% or 10% and try to have a vacation that’s not just e-mail with a view.
