“If we’re able to maintain a 50% growth rate for 10 years and achieve 10% profitability number and have a 20 P/E, our market cap would be basically the same as Apple’s is today,” Musk said. “Now, that’s going to require a bit —on the order of $700 [billion]. Obviously, getting there will require some significant capex.”

According to what I have seen, Ford Fusion EV range is 21 miles. Where are you getting 115 miles?

Rob Dawg said...

The 115 miles in the table is cut and paste from the Ford website.
Maybe this is the upcoming model?

>Ford website.

Ok, I see there's a Ford Focus Electric Hatch, 115 mile range.
That would be good enough for driving around town.
Course don't know if I'd want to spend $30K for a car to drive around town.

21, why bother?

More marigolds await me.

>21, why bother?

If you're referring to range, there's a big difference between 21 miles and 115 miles, for a driving around town car.

How much power does Ford's onboard "point of no return" klaxon warning system use when you've driven 57.5 miles into the wilderness? ;)

Range costs. How far do you want to go?

50 to 100 miles is plenty for driving around town.

For the ford, overnight charging would suffice for > a high percentage(I have read but forget) of folks daily use. Makes sense to me.
