This is a really thoughtful counter-point and I appreciate the response. The problem with it is that I don't see Tesla changing, or morphing into a "traditional" car company as it scales. Yes Ford and the like are constrained by old business models and huge scale, but that's kind of the point. Tesla is not, and has the chance to scale and do things differently along the way. I'm amazed at how they continue to grow (from roadster to model S), and consistently reveal products and technologies that seem genuinely very progressive and well though out. I'm also struck by their ability to address issues and controversies that like landmines, stand in the way of anyone trying to break into this very established marketplace. I would love to have two horses in this game, Tesla and another to see how contrasting methodologies in the modern car market would play out.
