" Although I have been, and continue to be, bullish on Elon Musk's prospects, I'm often told by more sober and successful men that Tesla is not built on sound business principles." "The Volt suffers from its association with Chevrolet and GM. If the only place to buy a Volt was the Apple Store, every celebrity in the world would have five of them and the waiting list would stretch into the next decade." "The potential benefits of a Tesla-GM merger are plain to even a business-school dropout like your humble author." "Forget the Gigafactory and all those headaches. General Motors has factories aplenty. And with the pros from Detroit on the case, Tesla can focus on innovation instead of sales-and-service support." This seems to be like a very naive few from an over simplified model. "Forget the gigafactory" along with everything that makes this whole concept silly. I still don't see the "potential benefits being plain to see".
