> I think the reason for investor's optimism in Tesla is their vision is to get everyone a car.
I suppose that's a vision, but not one that I see fitting-in with the general social and governmental direction for transportation, globally.
Why would everyone want a car, even if the infrastructure could sustain that? We don't all have our own aeroplanes or boats, we lease time on them when we need to use those methods of transport.
Electric motors can make cars smaller. Infrastructure would have a rough time with petrol cars.
A new car maker wouldn't make a difference to what would happen but if its electric I'd suppose there is a better chance.
I'd imagine governments would end up pushing it particularly in more debt laden countries. Imagine two cars on sale, one electric and one fossil fuel powered, if you needed tax revenues where would you get tax revenue from next?
