volvo is supposed to doing it in 2019. they're not a huge player, but that could influence the others.

GM is moving cadillac in the direction too.

The Caddilac ELR, Nissan Leaf (first Gen), First Gen Chevy Volt were all shit bombs because they were trying to approach the electric car through the eyes of ICE based vehicles.

Tesla is in a good position because they changed the game and approach electric vehicles from a clean sheet perspective

I still think they have a good 10 years before major manufacturers are really about to take their lunches.

what can you do?

I also would prefer a car that has a gas option because I'm not trying to be stranded out in the middle of nowhere if a plug station fails

how many bankruptcies have the big 3 had?

tesla was major in getting electric cars accepted. i dont know what their place moving forward is. i hope they find a way to keep going for at least another decade. it seems musk is set on pushing electric forward and get rid of excuses for not switching all vehicles to electric.

it seems most of his companies are pushing boundaries and heavy on the R&D. does he have a stable business that he can keep going to for funds?

it makes sense that some of these companies will fail but he seems to have a bigger picture in mind. in the end a business needs to make a profit and he may need to find a way to stabilized tesla with outside support.

Let's just say there's a reason she frowns and bites her tongue whenever someone brings up how great Tesla is.

All I can say is that on the legal side, it does not sound like a good environment for women employees. He was known to like to party up with Musk outside of the office. But I honestly don't know if the guy in question is still the head of legal counsel.

Don’t get me wrong. He has pushed electric forward BUT a lot of Tesla’s image is hype and future dates that they haven’t been able to hit

Mars 20never
Hyper loop 2021
Electric Truck 2019
Model 3 - 2017, 2018???


Also read their reliability score for the card is ass juice too.

I kinda think these rocket launches are good hype and distraction from the issues they are facing with production.

...and if that is the only contribution he makes to the industry, is it really just hype...?

I read the link in the OP and found it strange that Tesla is being cited for 3 accidents...I have to wonder how many accidents are attributed to competitors that we don't hear about

The link explicitly states other manufacturers are using the same part...yet are doing nothing

I also remember just his business model (store fronts instead of dealerships) being challenged legally

skimming over the post and replies, I'm sure dude is not without fault

but like I said, if Tesla is the break in the dam of automotive fossil fuel consumption...I'm okay with it
