What's Wrong With This Picture: Just What Tesla Needed More Of Edition
HYPE! Yes, according to a pimptastic Morgan Stanley report [via BusinessInsider], Tesla is about to become “the 4th American Automaker,” despite the fact that it hasn’t actually built a car in any kind of volume. The report enthuses
The confluence of structural industry change, disruptive technology, changing consumer tastes and heightened national security creates an opportunity for significant new entrants in the global auto industry. California dreaming? We don’t think so. In our view, the conditions are ripe for a shake-up of a complacent, century-old industry heavily invested in the status quo of internal combustion. The risks are high. So is the opportunity. Enter Tesla.

Hate to bring up an old meme but "Cocaine is a hell of a drug."
Why all the hate? Starting a business is hard work, and creating an automobile manufacturing business is probably about 100,000 times more difficult and expensive. If anything, the guy should be admired. What are all of you haters doing that is so much better? Oh let me guess.. working at your boring job, banging your fat wives, and dissing Tesla.
I may be one of the few Tesla fanboys around here, but those charts by Morgan Stanley are ridiculous. Any chart going out to 2025 should immediately be dismissed.
The report also predicts that in 2030, Tesla will figure out how to make a transmission with more than 1 gear.
