IEEE have a story today on the Tesla truck and the Roadster sports car,
which is the supercar cited in Rick's original post.

TV news last night showed the glitzy launch of both vehicles
by Elon Musk and highlighted the "production hell", as Musk put it,
of the delays in delivering the more modestly-priced Model 3 car.
The news clip featured Musk camping out on the roof of the Gigafactory - the
largest manufacturing building in the world - spanning an area equivalent to
107 American football fields.
