In 25 years, will the Tesla be a curiosity tinged with nostalgia much like the DMC-12 is now? I continuously hope for the next great American car innovator, but perhaps we have simply run out of the next great car ideas. And in the end, are we truly in love with our cars and driving like we once were? Or perhaps is our relationship maturing as we fully acknowledge that a car is merely a tool, a means from Point A to Point B?

The arrogance and ineptitude of Elon Musk will be the downfall of the company.
The U.S. automobile industry was a domestic cartel at the time the Tucker Torpedo was conceived. Tesla probably needs to go off shore because the cartel may be a zombie but it ain't quite dead yet. If the cartel gets a good bailout, they could buy all of Tesla's assets cannibalize it as they have done to previous would be competitors.
