    Low volume auto manufacturers do no have a great
    history of long term success. Musk has got into EVs
    at a time when the biggies were lagging but now that
    Porche and BMW are getting into the prestige/sports
    segment of the EV market, Telsa is likely to be squeezed.

    Lets face it, if you have the choice of a Telsa, Porche or BMW
    prestige/sports EV, Tesla would likely come last.

    Musk seems to be like Alan Bond in the 1980s; just because he can get
    financial backing, he has diversified beyond his abilities. His risky and
    marginally profitable space vehicle program is an example of an
    entrepeneur O/D ing on investor confidence.

    DeLorean in the 1970s had a go at aluminium bodied sportscars
    which was the fad at the time but once investor confidence petered
    out he went bankrupt.
