This week, Google’s prank backfires, the FBI flexes their new muscle, Is Nest in trouble?, the largest data leak in history, a new Star Wars movie trailer, and Tesla 3 is coming!...in a couple of years ...All this and more this week on The Drill Down.
That’s $325,000,000 in revenue in their pocket in the first week.

Add in the fact that Tesla stands to gain % points for those who finance the car.
Now that’s still tiny compared to Audi, another luxury brand which saw revenue of a little more than $54,613,680,000 in 2012. But Tesla’s expected $11 billion - that’s pre-orders. If the car’s a success, regular orders will add to that.klll
