Musk is going down

If gas doesn't get expensive again SOON then Tesla is doomed

I wouldn't count him out yet. I think he's still got a couple of tricks up his sleeve.

That would actually make a lot of sense. Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio all line up, geographically speaking. They'd probably need to throw a separate line out to Houston, though.

Get it together, Houston.

I dont think people buying Model S are too worried about gas prices.

We'll move Houston just south of San Antonio to help the line.

I don't see it coming close to $100/bbl for a VERY long time without something major and unexpected happening. Maybe $70 by July or something.

It might not

It's a conspiracy between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia to take down Russia and Iran

no way it's cheap!

Adjust for inflation and it's the cheapest it's been for a while!

agree

But

To get people to buy the cheaper models that are coming out they will need people to care about has prices

Well... I paid $2.679/gal at 76 yesterday. Which, yes, is far better than what it was this time last year. I'll give you that. :)

That is crazy cheap!

Gas isn't expensive. Even at $5/gallon it wasn't expensive:

"When we look at gas prices from our own personal perspective we only see a small window of 4 or 5 years at most. Rarely do we even consider a 10 year timeframe. Therefore, we might assume that gas prices "always go up." But if we look at the big picture in inflation adjusted terms we will will get quite a different picture, as we can see from the chart above. Yes, the black "nominal price" is always rising but in inflation adjusted terms gas is no more expensive than it was in 1918 but it is considerably higher than it was in 1998 when it reached an all-time low in inflation adjusted terms."
