Augmentin 750 mg,  In these turbulent times, we wanted to know how the Vice Chair of GM was getting along, augmentin 375. Buy cheap generic augmentin online, We found Bob smoking a cigar on his Segway.   Which was definitely my favorite visual of the trip, augmentin 875 mg price. Augmentin 375 mg, Lutz lives in a spread that can best be described as “bucolic,” in a quietly lovely suburb outside of Detroit, augmentin for ear infections. This was not the land of the ,500 homes we’d been reading about, augmentin 875mg. Augmentin for ear infection, The Lutz farm boasts not one but two garages for his collector cars, a couple of barns for the horses, augmentin gram negative, Augmentin 600 mg, a collection of dogs and a pair of swans who had just hatched their cygnets (I wouldn’t have known what to call them, but Bob delighted in stumping our entire crew), augmentin xr 1000 mg. Augmentin for tooth abscess, It was a nice way to spend a morning.

Bob didn’t emote too much over the state of the car industry and Detroit as a whole, augmentin 825 mg, Augmentin 800 mg, but, surprisingly, augmentin for tooth infection, Augmentin 375, his wife did. And in a moment aside she told her husband how nice it was going to be to have him at home for a while ( this was during Bob's brief "retirement"), augmentin 375 mg. Augmentin 875mg, We then met our honorary crew member Chelsea Sexton out at GM’s car testing grounds. Augmentin 750 mg, She was in town for a little business and a little fun—test driving the next Volt mule. If Chelsea’s ear-to-ear grin was anything to go by, generic augmentin 875, Augmentin 825 mg, the Volt seemed to be progressing fine. We then caught an “informal chat” between Chelsea and Tony Posawatz at GM’s tech center, augmentin for tooth infection. Augmentin 625 duo, Tony actually seemed more relaxed than the last time we’d seen him, possibly, augmentin 875-125 mg, Augmentin 825, one could speculate, because he was still employed, augmentin 750.

We took Chelsea on a ride on the People Mover to get her reaction to the downsizing of the company she once belonged to and her test drive of the Volt, augmentin 875mg. Augmentin for tooth abscess, The beautiful art deco buildings, some in the process of falling down, provided a colorful backdrop for our up-and-coming-activist.

Since we only had two days in Detroit, we weren’t able to do much more sightseeing, but we did meet Bishop Ellis, who heads Greater Grace Temple and famously held a “bailout” service for the auto industry in his mega-church with SUVs at the altar.  Although our crew are mostly heathens, I think that we were all moved by Ellis’s words.

After our interview at the church, we did a drive through neighborhoods in eight, seven and six-mile roads, finding more people sitting on their porches as we moved down the numbers. As bad as things are reported to be, the people we saw and talked to seemed to be generally in decent spirits, and though we found a “For Sale” sign on nearly every block, we didn’t find very many next door to each other. But my brief phone call with former New York Times reporter Charlie leDuff -- who spoke of a Detroit where forgotten bodies were found in abandoned buildings -- left me sure that the Detroit story was much bigger than we had the resources to cover.

There’s always next time.

As we captured key meetings with department heads,  Elon stressed his commitment to ramping Tesla up - and the fact that his role was hands-on. He reminded person after person that no problem or detail was too small. The buck stopped with Elon. [caption id="attachment_1096" align="alignright" width="240" caption="Elon Musk (left) inspects a Roadster"]Elon Musk inspects a Roadster's PEU (Power Electronics Unit).[/caption] We pulled a marathon day, and our cameraman, Adam, worked valiantly to keep up.  Filming meetings is actually difficult to do well. You need to know the subject, know the players, and then make split-second decisions as to how to follow the action. Along the way, we captured a couple of job interviews and captured Elon's policy of interviewing most employees in person. One of our interviews was a young engineer. When asked about the recent layoffs he said "You have to cut your burn rate. It's just the way business works — for start-ups especially." A couple of Tuesdays later, I took a cameraman back to witness an "all hands meeting" at Tesla's Menlo Park office. Again, the back warehouse was full with cars about to be delivered. This time, we saw cars approaching VIN number 100.  Elon voiced his displeasure with an internal issue that had been passed on to the press by an employee.   Then a slide show came on, and we got a sneak peak at a photo of 'Model S'. OMG.  I don't usually think of sedans as sexy, but this car is gorgeous.  If and when this happens, Tesla will have trouble keeping them in stock at any price point.  My family of five might just have to be first in line.]]> http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/filming-tesla-2/feed/ 2 Filming Tesla (1 of 2) http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/filming-tesla-1/ http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/filming-tesla-1/#comments Wed, 10 Dec 2008 23:20:16 +0000 Jessie Deeter http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/?p=1087 Warehouse full of Tesla Roadsters.[/caption] Let me just give it away now….the first day we filmed this fall at Tesla, we got to see not one, not two, not three, but, and I counted—over 40 production Roadsters in the Menlo Park buildings. There is something about the sight of more than four million dollars of incredibly sleek, fast (they do look fast - even standing still) car flesh under one roof that really makes you tingle. It was tangible proof that the cars were.....well, that the cars were, and that the production line was moving. It's also when and where our Director, Chris, finally got to meet his car, a real beauty. See Chris's Blog Post about his Tesla delivery. Once again, it’s an exciting time to be following the electric car world. We’ve been following the Tesla story since they were in "stealth" mode, in the spring of 2006. Most of you have seen those few precious seconds of Tesla footage in "Who Killed the Electric Car ?"  What most of you couldn't guess is that when JB Straubel backed the car out of an enclosed trailer below the windmills of Altamont Pass for our film shoot, there was a gaping hole where the front grill should have been. When asked, JB replied that some details, like the entire grill, were not yet finalized. Hmmmm. A quick trip down to Home Depot for some landscaping mesh plus some metal binder clips from Office Depot gave us all we needed [the film crew mind you, not Tesla engineers] to fabricate a grill worthy of a film appearance.  Elapsed time: 35 minutes. JB was impressed! We even let him 'keep' our design. That was our first brush with Tesla. Then, the company was pure California start-up - occupying a no-frills warehouse space in a little lane in the heart of Silicon Valley.  We found a bunch of geeks, EV nerds and entrepreneurs who were thrilled to be able to actually get jobs working on a technology that they thought might help change the world—and what a sexy technology!  The car we filmed that day was just a rough version of the highly refined luxury mobile offered today, but still it was the quickest 0-60 that I’d ever done. Two years later, we took our crew back to Tesla to film the arrival of production car #1, Elon's personal hot car. The mood in the air was pure victory, even though the car was well over a year coming than originally forecast.  Journalists jockeyed for the pole position to capture Elon's triumphant peel out of the driveway in his new baby. The crowd was on fire. Six months later the world had changed. The financial market had tanked, taking Tesla's cash source with it. And the online rumor mill had changed its tune from "Gee, isn’t this an amazing technology that we wish we could all own?!" To, "Gee, how much longer do you think this company can last with dwindling cash reserves, missed delivery targets," and a new blogger chorus:  "Tesla sucks for making a cool car that none of us can afford to own." With storm clouds brewing, our "Revenge" team was lucky enough to be granted access to Tesla's San Carlos shop to check in with Elon, and see how his first weeks as CEO were shaping up. While I can't tell you everything we filmed, or Elon would have to kill me. What I can tell you is that we were able to witness some serious team building and whip cracking ...which we'll share with you soon!]]> http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/filming-tesla-1/feed/ 0
