This is really important to me, because it's showing up all of the other automakers dragging their feet on making electric cars - giving this excuse and that excuse why it doesn't make sense or it can't be done. It's forcing them to acknowledge that electric is the future, and they're going to have to go electric to stay relevant. I think it's safe to say at this point that Musk has done his job, regardless of the future of Tesla.
- usaphp 7y agoMost of the people I know who got Tesla instead of similarly priced Audi/Bmw/Mercedes did that for “auto pilot” and being electric for some of them was actually a downside.
- goshx 7y agoIt is hard to believe when the fact it is electric makes it cheaper to charge, more convenient, and provides quicker acceleration. Not to mention the environmental reasons.
- electriclove 7y agoI agree with the sentiment but think his job will be done once the legacy automakers have actually switched (not simply made announcements - although those are encouraging signs). He still needs to continue to grow production. This year will be about 360k in sales. Tesla is on the radar and they need to keep the pressure on.
