Electric carmaker Tesla preparing IPO, sources say

November 20, 2009 - 2:00 pm ET
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -- Silicon Valley electric sports car maker
Tesla Motors is planning to go public soon, two people familiar with the
situation said, outlining plans to sell stock and cash in on investor
appetite for green technology and interest in battery-powered vehicles. The
six-year-old start-up's investors include Google Inc. founders Sergey Brin
and Larry Page.

An IPO filing from Tesla, best known for its $109,000 all-electric
Roadster, is expected any day, said one of the sources. The person did not
give a specific time frame.

Tesla spokesman Ricardo Reyes declined to comment on what he called
"rumor or speculation."

Now you know the reason for all the hype.
Oooo! An IPO!! No reason to make cars when you can make debt instead.
How's about a pool for when they declare bankruptcy?

I'd rather have a pool for the IPO price at the end of the first day...
Whoever wins will probably make more money than the investors who buy at the
beginning of the first day.
