Comments on: Tesla names Drori as CEO http://www.leftlanenews.com/eberhard-to-step-down-as-tesla-ceo.html Car news, reviews, and specs for the auto-industry Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:44:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: jdasch1 http://www.leftlanenews.com/eberhard-to-step-down-as-tesla-ceo.html#comment-344049 jdasch1 Sat, 01 Dec 2007 06:25:13 +0000 http://www.leftlanenews.com/eberhard-to-step-down-as-tesla-ceo.html#comment-344049 Eberhard is an engineer and doesn't want to be a businessman, accountant, and lawyer (CEO). He is staying where his passion is...the car, not the business case. I own several electric vehicles (two from bankrupt companies) including one from Ford, and I love them. They are quiet and do the 40-70 mile trip on about 70 cents of power. I really hope Tesla makes it. I would buy one if they will sell into Washington state. Currently they are only selling into California. Whitestar will be a car for the masses, where the Tesla is for people who crave speed and style. Go to YOUTUBE and look up "Tesla electric car" and see what they are doing. Eberhard is an engineer and doesn’t want to be a businessman, accountant, and lawyer (CEO).

Reliability, parts, distribution network? I think the best we can hope for is one of the big auto companies pick this up and offer it under their umbrella. It sure sounds cool.

Thunder rolls and the lightning bolts come crashin’ to the ground

Wounderkids dropped over quite a few millions on this venture. It looks like they have customer for first seven months of production, but where do you get 83 people every month to drop 100K on a toy car? Isn't it price of Qautroporte and it is actually a good looking car! Maybe Gore and Barbra will purchase production line outright. Hey they are pissing Google moneys away.
