@weijian By "Albert Edison", I suppose you meant Thomas* Edison. Minor typo.
Back to Tesla, Tesla has a few fundamental advantage going for them:
1. Gigafactory - Theoretically, vertical integration and volume production will allow them to produce batteries more efficiently and cheaply. That cost advantage would allow them to make mass market (sub $35k USD) electric cars profitable before their competitors at high volume (>500,000 per years). As far as I know, no other manufacturer in the US has made similar scale investment yet. The time is ticking.
2. Consumer Demand - No other automobile manufacturer could command 400k pre-orders for a car that is only available a few years down the road. This is Apple-esque brand power. Clearly the consumer wants their car, and they can sell as many car as they can produce.
3. Elon Musk - Visionary CEO. Once in a generation. So far he has demonstrated extraordinary vision to invest in electric vehicle before anyone wants to take the risk and great execution; exploiting the high share price to raise capital cheaply.
And Donald Trump just pulled out of Paris Agreement as expected. Millennials want Tesla to win, so that we can show Trump and Big Oil the finger.
