The united economics paper is garbage...
Now their conclusions...
This is mostly an anti-Elon piece, ...
I noticed Richard Thalheimer posted against the piece. I remember him as the guy who started Sharper Image. Wonder if he's a Tesla owner? He's paying attention
I find it hard to understand why so many find Tesla so threatening. There is plenty of space in the EV for all options. Tesla's success benefits them all.
Yep. Who wants to pack around CD's when there is an Ipod.I don't find it hard at all. Tesla built a real car, all the others are either secondary cars or have a dirty gas engine. Tesla, in one swoop, has made every other plug-in vehicle manufacturer look like they didn't know what they were doing--just like the iPhone made every other cellphone look obsolete. As far as I know, every other plug-in vehicle manufacturer believes there is only a limited demand for plug-ins and so if Tesla sells 20,000 cars this year, there won't be anyone left to purchase theirs. I believe there is an almost unlimited demand for plug-ins--but only if they are real cars.

I wonder though as to how many non-dealer car service jobs - the Jiffy Lube variety - will be lost though in a world full of EVs. Even if some of them adapt and start servicing EVs, given how limited the scope for that is going to be, there'll be orders of magnitude difference in jobs on that front.
Maybe a topic for a different thread...
I see those jobs being taken up by "noise consultants" that will fix all the squeaks and wind noises etc that we would never hear in an ICE!
If so, it would seem to represent a reversal of sorts....
Elon has stated multiple times he didn't think most of his ventures would succeed. He thought they could succeed, but not that they would. That doesn't make them not worth doing, and it doesn't make other people fools for not thinking they would succeed either.I don’t think Tesla Motors is going to to succeed. I personally just don’t think that you can just reinvent the car business- competing against companies that have been building great cars for many years."

This is his "dumbed down" version.
