Tesla Motors was created to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport. If we clear a path to the creation of compelling electric vehicles, but then lay intellectual property landmines behind us to inhibit others, we are acting in a manner contrary to that goal.

The HDTV resolution suggests that Tesla made their center console for watching things, not for driving the car. This bad boy is allllll about the driverless future. This isn’t a car with a weird dashboard, this is a mobile living room.

Our true competition is not the small trickle of non-Tesla electric cars being produced, but rather the enormous flood of gasoline cars pouring out of the world’s factories every day.

Tesla’s innovation strategy — which focuses on transforming the auto industry as a whole — offers enduring lessons for any innovator, especially in terms of how to win support for an idea and how to bring new technologies to market.

A system is self-sustaining if it would continue to function normally in the indefinite absence of its creators.

The goal isn't to use less energy, or even to just replace fossil fuels. The goal is vastly more energy, to help more people live better lives, and to make it all clean.

Few investors understand the enormous difficulty involved in switching from manufacturing ICE vehicles to EVs. Tesla has widely automated their vehicle manufacturing facilities, which has resulted in substantially higher operating profitability than its larger ICE vehicle competitors.
