Seems that's the general reponse from the blogs, that Musk & the VCs will sell out the company. Don't know if that's what's best for the company, but I still like it better if they stay independent at least from the large auto companies, as I think if they succeed, Tesla may one day best even those large companies.
Here it doesn't say that they will be developing the Bluestar along with the Whitestar, as we have heard before. That maybe too quick of a pace esp. when the Roadsters haven't really been delivered yet. We still haven't heard much about the progress on the Whitestar, but the $50,000 to $60,000 price is reaffirmed, though it doesn't mean much as they might have to raise the price later on (like they did with the roadster).
"Musk also said the company may partner with another company to develop a lower-cost electric car."
Not sure what this quote is referring to, but it makes sense that they may partner another company to develop either the Whitestar or Bluestar (though not so much with the Whitestar since they said that they wanted to build their own factory for it).
