I don't own a Tesla and have no dog in the fight. I agree that criticism of their business model is certainly warranted -- pretty hard to excel at cars when you're also trying to build a space force. Besides all that legitimate criticism there are political forces being used to gin up outright hatred of Tesla vehicles. Do Chevy owners block Ford owners from using the gas pump?
It's not hard at all. You have one company do one and another company do the other, then you don't micromanage and don't chase away your top talent.
I'm not so sure - Elon Musk has things up his sleeve and smart people working with those companies. Have you heard about his other company, SpaceX, and their Starlink project? They just launched 100s of satellites in a string and will by themselves go into orbit. Definitely outside the box thinking.
Other EV manufacturers have a very steep hill to climb when it comes to competing with Tesla's Supercharging network, in both ubiquity and speed. That is reason alone to strongly favor Telsa's realistic long-term viability.

GM is to start building thousands of charging systems so there goes that theory out the window. And GM has the money to do it on a massive scale.

1) This article is about self driving not EV’s.
2) charging stations aren’t required at all. That’s what PHEV’s are for.

Um, nonsense. For one thing, as the OP has already noted, GM's planning a huge rollout of charging stations.Tesla's network is hardly an insurmountable lead.
Tesla is an itty-bitty turtle that's had the dragstrip all to itself for... about 100 feet. Yep, they're winning so far.

1.) I can read, thank you. The conversation veered off to Tesla's viability, which I chose to address.
2.) PHEVs (no apostrophe needed)? This conversation is about electric vehicles, i.e. those that don't rely on fossil fuels. Charging networks are critical.

"GM's planning a huge rollout". Cool. Call me when it's built and ubiquitous. Tesla's is already there and with speeds of up to 1000 miles/hr, gasoline is all but irrelevant.

The question is who are they going to merge with. New technology startup companies usually merge or get taken over by another company that can manage and deliver product.

Ugh! Remington! I bought a big old bucket of .22LR from these jokers and am currently running about 12% failure/misfire rate with this carp.
