Elon Musk, the co-founder and CEO of Tesla Motors, is very passionate about the electric vehicle company he runs. If ever there was any doubt, it was erased yesterday during the yesterday’s shareholder meeting.
Now, this California upstart does many things differently than traditional automakers. For instance, unlike its competitors, it streams these events live, allowing anyone with an internet connection to view the goings on. And, unlike most shareholder meetings, they can actually be interesting to watch. Perhaps that’s because the formal business portion is generally very brief, and the affair typically consists of Mr. Musk giving a relaxed presentation about the company’s present position and future outlook, then taking a good number of questions from the stakeholders on hand. Considering the share price has rocketed from around $33.00 in January to as high as $114.90 recently (it’s currently at about $95), this time he faced a rather amiable audience.
“There is a way for the Tesla Model S to be recharged throughout the country faster than you could fill a gas tank.”
While there wasn’t a lot of new information for those who follow Tesla closely - he reiterated that the Gen III Tesla will be in the $30,000 range (our take: expect the pre-tax incentive price to be north of $35,000) and likely offer more than 200 miles of range with the smallest battery option - Musk did give a rather large hint about what is planned for the fifth installment in its Adamsian announcement trilogy.
