Tesla's doing good but they're a looooooong way from GM, Ford, or Chrysler levels.

How many total cars have they built this year compared to GM, Ford or Chrysler?
The fewer cars you build you have more time for each one.

The big 3 have probably built about a thousand between them for every 1 that Tesla has this year.

And the less experience you have building cars, the more time you need.

In case anyone was wondering when this thing was going to debut.

Can't wait.

If all goes well, next year we'll be in a new 2015!

If you can get rid of the middle man (read: vultures) and sell your product directly to the customer, you have much more control over quality and customer satisfaction...

So if you get rid of the middleman, (dealers) who do you take your car to for warranty work? Where do you go for test drives, or just to look at the different models or colors in person?
I can see more issues being a problem than it would solve.

Dealership franchise laws get in the way of that. Tesla is only barely managing to tip-toe around them, and at least one (Texas) has banned them from selling cars.

It's the optional vehicle cover.
