Considering their profits have gone down the tube for 2.5 years, that's not saying much.
But, at least it arrests the constant slide they had.

Yes, and if they can show good sales and profits of their flagship models in this 'saturated' market. Maybe the iPhone 7 will do better for Apple than expected too, so 'peek iPhone' will be broken this year rather than next.

I'm a little surprised by this...I thought the SE was going to be a hit. A lot less people want a new tech 4" iPhone than expected. Maybe its because a whole new generation iPhone is coming in only 5 months? Oh well...

In 10 to 15 years cars like this are going to be commonplace and from many manufactures. They'll start to become a commodity item, just like most internal combustion engined cars are today. I don't think Tesla will survive that (Apple be warned) they'll just end up a footnote, yet I don't think Elon Musk will mind all that much. Safe in the knowledge that he started a revolution and has his place in automotive history.

Things I like:

1. Very nice overall design
2. $35k is very reasonable. Especially with the additional $7-$10k in tax credits
3. 0-60 in less than 6 seconds is very good
4. 200+ mile range
5. Cool glass roof

Things I don't like:

1. Interior is too plain. Large touch screen looks tacky and bolted on
2. No speed gauge on the driver side.
3. Front nose of the car looks 'naked' and awkward

I think the interior is great. Super minimalistic...Jobs would of liked that. As for a lack of drivers side speedo, its likely that this car incorporates a HUD for that and other information. As for the plain (lack of a grill) front-end, well its electric! And everybody knows that now because of it. Electric and proud I say! Anyway put a number plate on that 'lip' and it doesn't look so bare anymore.

'Older and less educated' what people over 45 are less educated? What a crock!
