#12I think it's hilarious that Edward Niedermeyer links to complaints about mechanical issues on a Tesla forum to prove that Toyota is somehow more reliable or innovative.
Did he conveniently forget about all this?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009%E2%80%9311_Toyota_vehicle_...

#13The article seems like more of negative outlook instead of being based on sound data. It lays more emphasis on "It's not been done before, so it's not possible again". It looks more like the view of a Wall Street skeptic.

#14What's the purpose of articles like this? Sure, you can make a reasoned, persuasive argument that Tesla is overvalued and/or unlikely to succeed spectacularly but this article isn't that. It's simply a spew of vitriol and derisiveness. Was this supposed to be convincing? Musk can't succeed because, well, E.W. Niedermeyer says so?

#15Auto-industry consultant predicts victory for incumbents over silicon valley auto startup. Commenters at startup focused website skeptical. News at 11.
Bloomberg probably just signed a juicy advertising contract with one of the big 3. This is the second such article in the last few days.

#16Interesting the article makes fun of Musk because of the hyperloop idea, but fails to look at SpaceX, which, to me, legitimizes Musk's grand visions. Who would have thought 20 years ago a private company would be reloading the ISS instead of NASA?
At an order of magnitude less cost
Also, SpaceX iterates stupid fast. How long did we have the Shuttle? The next Falcon 9 rocket already has landing legs on it to test its helium pneumatic pistons in preparation for first-stage return to launch pad.

Perhaps to drive TSLA stock down so interests who didn't get in at a lower price can?

#20Heard the same arguments when Musk tried to get into rockets. He has no experience making rockets. Then there was the naysaying when Apple was first getting into phones. What does Apple know about phones? How can they possibly compete with the likes of Nokia? Often industries are disrupted by newcomers who aren't constrained by the thinking of the existing players. Yes, Musk can't violate the laws of physics or econo…
I saw an interview with Musk where he said precisely that. SpaceX's innovated with process, not necessarily technology.
