So why doesn't a huge car company buy them and put Elon in charge of everything? Or is this just too far fetched?

- S_A_P 14y agoTesla is hardly a sure thing, and I think that many of the big car companies feel that they have sufficient engineering resources to tackle the problem on their own. You never know, maybe someone has made a bid to purchase Tesla and was turned down. It appears, however that if any electric auto upstart is going to make it, Tesla has a great chance. Fisker does not seem to be generating the press coverage of Tesla, and the only story I can recall is one where a Fisker Karma burned to a crisp and took half a house with it.

- Contero 14y agoI don't get it. Nearly that exact scenario played out with John Lasseter and Disney/Pixar. I don't see why it would be unreasonable here.
