Tesla just became the most valuable carmaker in America
Some people are dragged into the future and some people drag all of humanity forward. Elon Musk has a gigantic rope and is pulling the world into the 22nd century.
Tesla was founded in 2003 and has already overtaken GM in the US and is close to overtaking Honda in the world. Next on to Toyota.
I see no reason why the major car companies wont bury Tesla in the long run.They are certainly being pushed around by Tesla at the moment. This will probably be Tesla's legacy.
How are they being "pushed around"?
I seriously doubt that without Tesla's huge success so far they would be so committed to electric cars
Never turning a profit is not a "huge success".. Where the hell do they find you guys? The reason why the major car companies have been investing in EV's is because of government mandates. Were there no government requirement they wouldn't bother save as a technology demonstrator.
