This guy is clearly an idiot and needs to go back to his mobile home.  They've ramped up production significantly and have been cranking out cars in higher numbers.  They did have some production issues at the end of last year that have since been resolved.  They plan to pay back their loan early.  Look at the stock.  ...more
