Guys with $100K+ who want a sub 4 second to 60mph vehicle may look at a the Telsa compared to the Corvette, I gave that example - do you need more?
In 1920 how many auto companies were there, How many in the 30's, 40's, 50's? What has been happening to specialty car makers, like SAAB, Porsche, Jaguar in the past 20 years? Once you get past the top 20 selling models, what are the sales volumes of the others? How many Hummers are being sold to consumers compared to battery powered vehicles, what are the trends. What happened to the DeLorian? And you wonder why government favoring GM over Telsa may be significant?
