I truly do hope they succeed, that will help drive other companies to invest in electric.

What makes me laugh is that people still put so much faith into Elon Musk even after his numerous failed attempts at delivering vehicles on time, not to mention how many times he's failed at landing that unmanned rocket of his.
Gotcha, it seems odd how the value of a company can be based on 'future products' when those products haven't even started production. I don't really get that bit of economics or whatever it may be lol

I hope Tesla can deliver on the Model 3. If not, I wonder if that might be the start of the downhill slide for Tesla? As a car company at least... Space-X is it's own entity right?
