The Tesla Roadster (an EV that matches the performance of Ferraris and Porches that one can at least place an order for) is a completely NEW breakthrough, a paradigm shift of enormous proportions, changing the way most folks see the electric car that leaves chins hanging and ahhhs and ooohs sound.
Let's not forget, most people in the UK think EV =
milkfloat / golf cart / G-Wizz and I suspect the same perception exists elsewhere. You only have to watch Top Gear to see what I mean. The Telsa is changing that for everyone who sees it in action. Even if the company folds tomorrow, the genie is out of the bottle with regards to what putting Li ion batteries in a desirable car can do and in that respect the Roadster already has its place in history.
Let's also not forget that the Mac has never really got more than around 10% market share. The IBMs and Microsofts of this world came along a couple of years later with a product for the masses. Perhaps the same will be true of Tesla / GM.
