Scale up is a bitch. One thing is to make a prototype and launch low scale. If we concentrate all brain power into a single endeavour, we can do wonders, But to make 100s of thousands of it is very difficult. Something like a electric car is not like a new toothpaste or beer that the maker get the recipe right people like the taste, the marketing men launch it and industry produce tons of it. The electric car has to be produced not like the internal combustion engine beasts we have had for the decades. These, had 100+ years to iron out all the glitches across the supply chain. From design to market and sell to repairs. Electric cars have yo be produced like electrical appliances: Airconditioners, refirgerators or washing machines.

Fantastic Post Bob, Your many years of owning and successfully running a number of dealerships give you insights into TSLA's flawed business model that NO one is talking about... even though seeking Alpha has around 4 or 5 analysis pieces each day, and Bloomberg, the WSJ, Barron's, Reuters ..are providing blanket coverage...... You should be contributing content on Seeking Alpha..... you know a lot more than many of the missives I have read. Now we see why there were over 400 NYSE listed automobile companies in the Roaring 1920's... talk about an industry that has seen vast rate of attrition over time... and some consolidation as well. who would have thought that Fiat would do such a good job running Chrysler!!.
