Competition breeds innovation. I hope the other players make better electric cars so that Tesla has to make better electric cars so that the other players make better electric cars etc...

I wouldn't want to track a Tesla, but the fact that this boat still makes decent laps tells me a focused electric performance car is going to be bananas.
Well said. Couldn't agree more. Wonder if anyone will beat Musk's Roadster to market in 2023.
