I feel like the lesson of Tesla is that the way to sell new technology is to make it better than the status quo in some way. "It's reasonably good" will sell to a few environmentally-conscious people, but it's better if something is genuinely appealing in some way other than ethics.
It's easier to sell the carrot than the stick.
- mayneack 14y agoYeah, but Tesla didn't invent the first electric vehicle. As he said, it's a proof of concept. Besides, the taste is probably less of a concern than the price tag at this point.

- kbenson 14y agoInteresting choice of words given the subject. In this case I guess you skin the cat by growing cat-meat in a dish, so you don't skin any cats.
