Major automakers predicted a competitive December as they rushed to sell cars and boost their numbers before 2017 ends. Most of them posted mixed U.S. November new car sales.

The owner and a huge Tesla fan has shared his thoughts on its favorite automaker and Tesla cars, and how his love for Teslas has been destroyed. He could be called as an adopter, since he bought his 892nd Tesla roadster to come off the assembly line in 2010. It had few problems, the motor had to be replaced multiple times.
