Slow down there Tesla Motors (TSLA). A blog post from Chrysler (FIATY.PK) says the EV automaker is "unmistakably incorrect" in its statement on being the only U.S. automaker to have fully repaid its government loans, noting Chrysler paid off U.S. and Canadian government loans ahead of schedule. On Tesla, Chrysler asks if it's a short memory or a short-circuit that led to the disputed claim? [View news story]
I believe what the 'new Chrysler' is referring to is; the fact that because they were sold to a European company (Fiat), some of their debt (over $4 Bllion USD) was forgiven.
Regardless, the ‘old Chrysler’ STILL owes the US government $4 Billion of forgiven debt, so Elon’s comments are technically still correct!

In answer to your question... YES!!! If Ford actually had created a fleet of VERY expensive flying cars that were flying around towns all over the US, and major critics (like Consumer Reports) were giving it a near perfect review, I would put half my portfolio into them.
I might be somewhat biased because I own a MS, and can never see myself EVER going back to an ICE vehicle again (yes, it's that much better!). However, when any company develops something that is FAR superior to EVERYTHING on this planet, it's a no brainer.
The MS isn’t just some new fangled ICE vehicle with a different do-hicky et al. It’s a game-changer vehicle that no one else can even come close to prototyping, much less building, and selling. It makes all other vehicles (even exotic ones that are ten-times its price) appear dated, and obsolete.
When a company creates a viable new machine that actually out-performs its competition, chances are very good they will survive far into the future, only to produce a less-expensive product for the mass-market. Plus, it doesn't hurt when that same company’s CEO is also building space rockets that make 1950’s sci-fi movies dreams a reality, and made his first billion before the age of thirty, based on a simple concept from the ground up. It’s not hard to believe bigger and BIGGER things will come from that person, and everything he touches!
Just as history has shown us time and time again, the companies with the most innovative ideas that actually make them become a reality, are the ones who will shove aside the old, and dominate the future.
Remember, things that have a great deal of technology always come down in price, as the demand increases (just like cell phones and computers). It won't be long before Tesla has a vehicle for every want, need, and income level (kind of like the other car companies out there :-)
Not just new a "era of emission-less vehicles", but rather the equivalent of owning a vehicle as quick as a Porsche 911 turbo, the comfort of a Rolls-Royce Phantom, the suspension of a McLaren MP4-12C, the technology of a Airbus A380, combined with the economy of a 100 MPG small motor-bike.
Electric car maker Coda files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after selling only one hundred units of its all-electric model. The company aims to come out the other side of bankruptcy as an energy storage firm. The development effectively leaves Tesla Motors (TSLA) the last automaker standing out of a promising California-based EV trio that also included Fisker and Coda. [View news story]
Coda's problem is, they were too quick to assume that Americans who wanted to drive a 'green' vehicle, would happy to drive something that looked like a USSR "ZAZ".
Fisker's problem is, they were to too quick to assume Americans who wanted to drive a 'green' vehicle, would happy to drive something that wasn't very efficient (other than being an amazing looking paper-weight).

You mean as opposed to the TRILLIONS of US tax dollars and subsidies we give to other corps and special interest groups, whom do NOTHING to make our nation a better place (and in many cases a worse place)?
Automobile industry snapshot: With a third of the year in the books, the fight for market share in the U.S. is being won by Ford (F), Chrysler (FIATY.PK), and Toyota while South Korean automakers stumble (KIMTF.PK, HYMLF.PK) and General Motors (GM) slowly recovers to where it stood six months ago. Though estimates for total industry sales in 2013 keep ranging higher, watch for Japanese automakers (NSANY.OB, HMC, TM) to use a weakened yen to compete more aggressively on price. On the EV front, the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt hope to take advantage of Tesla Motors (TSLA) pulling the plug on its 40-kWh version of the Model S. [View news story]
Tesla didn't actually pull the plug on the 40-kWh version of the Model S, just the 40-kWh battery, due to little demand for it.
General Motors (GM) says the 2015 Chevrolet Cruze Turbo Diesel will deliver 46 miles per gallon, a rating higher than previous estimates from the automaker. What to watch: The era of Detroit gas guzzlers appears to be long gone as the Big Three (GM, F, FIATY.PK) continue to deliver vehicles (diesel and non-diesel) which meet or exceed mileage ratings from Japanese automakers (TM, HMC) for comparable models. The trend from Detroit could also have some impact on EV sales (NSANY.OB, TSLA) if consumers decide catching +40 mpg fuel economy is "green" enough. [View news story]
If you build an ICE to run on less fossil-fuel, the oil companies will just raise their prices meet their expectations.
Like the saying goes… If you have a drinking problem, slowing down your consumption of booze, does not make you any less of an alcoholic. You need to stop it completely, to get sober.
I'm sure a lot of fans of IBM said the same about Apple (go figure).

I guess Texas really DOESN'T want out of state business afterall.

So, just as long as EVERYONE understands the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) is a TRILLION TIMES WORSE!
All in all, the facts are as follows...
1) Question: Is 'Man-Made' CO pollution causing global warming = Answer: Uncertain.
2) Question: Are ICE Vehicles CO emissions causing a higher rate of infant mortality? Answer: YES!
