Instructions to sign up are right over here http://www.lgprogram.energy.gov/


It looks like ford has about 5B in loans from them. And Fisker Automotive has a lil more than Tesla in loans. and Fisker makes some damn sexy cars: https://www.google.com/search?q=fisker&oe=utf-8&aq=t...


Yep, they're definitely hot cars: http://jalopnik.com/5956179/more-than-a-dozen-fisker-karma-h...

Elon Musk doesn't regard Fisker as a serious competitor. He said something like: "Fisker is headed up by a car designer, not an engineer. The reason we haven't had electric cars isn't because they looked bad" (or words to that effect).


Sure... Anyone that has the skill and know how to build a company that can build a game changing product like Tesla has...


Gotta love opinions.


Yes, if you prove you're worth it.
