That's a very good point. Those things are backed-up by big contracts. Other companies will need to invest heavily to follow up on this, and they certainly will soon. But I don't see Tesla becoming an EXTREMELY profitable company and others will just eat it alive soon, as the margins in that sector are just bad. Of course it can standout and still exist, become one company like VW or another one, but it won't become THE automobile company. The biggest beneficiaries of this will be us, the users. They will compete hard and we will get a more environment-friendly car. Government will soon go harder on this and make everybody drive a more environment friendly car. Awesome. In today's world, this is more important to the world than profits. I see this actually as the new economy. Governments will start to take policies aggressively against things which are better economically, but makes no sense environmentally-wise.
