« Je me demande comment l'autopilote de Tesla réagit quand un sachet plastique vole sur la route, quand un rat traverse....il pile sec quitte à se faire emboutir par derrière ?
Dans les ruelles étroites on regarde les yeux du conducteur d'en face pour essayer de savoir qui va laisser passer l'autre et faire un écart.... Comment une machine va gérer ça ? »

Citation de Canaille :
« Le réseau de Superchargeur a été proposé, mais les constructeurs ne veulent pas car Tesla aurait accès au donnés du véhicule car pas besoin de badger sur les Superchargeur.

Citation de wikipedia :

« Tesla was founded (as Tesla Motors) on July 1, 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning in San Carlos, California.[1][2] The founders were influenced to start the company after General Motors recalled all its EV1 electric cars in 2003 and then destroyed them,[3] and seeing the higher fuel efficiency of battery-electric cars as an opportunity to break the usual correlation between high performance and low fuel economy in automobiles.[4] The AC Propulsion tzero also inspired the company's first vehicle, the Roadster.[5][6] Eberhard said he wanted to build "a car manufacturer that is also a technology company", with its core technologies as "the battery, the computer software, and the proprietary motor".[7]

Ian Wright was the third employee, joining a few months later.[1] The three went looking for venture capital (VC) funding in January 2004[1] and connected with Elon Musk, who contributed US$6.5 million of the initial (Series A) US$7.5 million[8] round of investment in February 2004 and became chairman of the board of directors.[1] Musk then appointed Eberhard as the CEO.[9] J.B. Straubel joined in May 2004[1] as the fifth employee.[10] A lawsuit settlement agreed to by Eberhard and Tesla in September 2009 allows all five (Eberhard, Tarpenning, Wright, Musk and Straubel) to call themselves co-founders.[11] »
