Yes, you are absolutely right. But in case it isn't obvious to everyone already: 1. Detroit as a city, and the industry that built it, is dead and gone. Nothing will bring it back. The auto dealership network across the US has tried to adapt to changing technology too many times to count, and apparently is still waaay behind. 2. Tesla _might_ not successfully disrupt the auto industry, all by themselves. But like sharks, once there's blood in the water, it's only a matter of time. Many businesses want a piece of the US auto market -- and I mean "want" like a shark wants its next meal. I personally think Tesla is here for the long haul and has a huge first-mover advantage. 3. The only question is what this means for the infrastructure. Refueling stations. Brick and mortar parts stores. Parts websites. Tooling industries. Inspection and emissions and repair businesses, both brick and mortar and online. Imports. Dealerships. Financing. Fleet management. Warranties. Lawsuits. US Department of Transportation regulations and the political power structure that surrounds it. Tesla will almost certainly make some mistakes. But so far the trend has been extremely positive.
