With the cars, I've come to the realization that most people just don't realize how hard it is or how many people have tried. I'm a big fan of the car industry and have looked at many of the past attempts (eg, Tucker, Bricklin, Delorean, Fisker, and now Tesla). I can only think of one that topped 20,000 units, and they've hit 1 million. Being the only company since WWII to startup and do that is not a small feat. Sure, I could listen to all of his hype and crazy rosy projections. I could also listen to the things his worst detractors say sometimes. Both sets are just as wrong, though, so I prefer to pay attention to what his businesses are actually doing.
