I hope Tesla makes it just for the fun factor. I love competition.

Right now the transportation system is monopolized by oil, introducing electric makes coal a defacto competitor to OPEC and oil.

Two choices are better than one.

Oh I agree 100%. I can’t wait for plug-in electric cars that can go 300 miles between charges. And I hope Tesla makes it too. Building a car is a lot harder than people realize tho’. Tesla started w/ too many Silicon Valley guys and not enough car guys.

Tesla isn’t the only little guy working on this also - there’s Phoenix Motorcars and a couple other startups banging away. Realistically we’re still 10 years away from having real availability of this type of vehicle.
