I will admit I haven't read every response. But I will tell you: Tesla bought the NUMMI plant from GM/Toyota. They got the equipment for pennies on the dollar. They have the ability to produce beyond what they project, the plant was state of the art in terms of auto plants. They have a plan and money to invest in making a vehicle with a comparative range of gas vehicles and they will get there. There are companies like GM and Toyota that are interested in their technology.

They will win whether they sucked or not...............because whatever they create, advance technology or improved a process - it trickles down to those who take advantage of it. That is how it works, - history tells us that. The cynics always appear on the eve of experiments/discoveries - We need to encourage the flow of creativity.
