Tesla would never become a mainstream car maker focusing only on high-end cars, and would not justify the market cap.
- sgillen 8y agoI think maybe he is saying they should have focused on high end cars only until all their automated manufacturing processes were ironed out.
- aquadrop 8y agoYou can't have the scale with just high end cars to justify same level and dedication to automation. Ferrari sells 7-8k cars a year, Tesla wants to sell more in a week.
- dx034 8y agoYou can be very successful just producing >$80k cars. You'll never be the largest car manufacturer but you can dominate a market. I think Tesla could've done that by producing more sports cars instead of affordable cars. There's a lot of wealth in the world, enough to justify a gigafactory.
