2008: “the purpose of Tesla is to drive the advent of the electric vehicle”

2018: “the purpose of Tesla is to drive the advent of the electric vehicle”

I feel bad for Bob Lutz. He has been wrong on literally every big thing he says. Saying Tesla will die since 2010 and saying that volt is the the future. He is so wrong that I feel like we should just take what he says as a reference point of how the opposite is going to happen.

[jayrock]

Well, after GM laid off workers after the Obama bail out and again after the Trump tax cut....I will be going with Tesla.

[madjedi]

He thought that that Tesla would fail but what he was doing was so important he kept on fighting... a lot can be said for that

[BIGMACMCDONALDLEE]

Elon is the man for open source Tesla technology.

[dianegonzalez]

👍Like many before him . His passion for the automotive industry will be of historic impact and value. Has anyone gotten as far as he has given all the obstacles ??🇺🇸He will be counted among all the greats.

[bcuz]

Elon M. is employing 50, 000 Americans. That's a win !

[matthawkins]

People like him are our best chance to solve climate change. Entrepreneurs with a vision, not politicians with a bill

[MemorabiliaMart]

I see a lot of people hating. Elon Musk is the greatest entrepreneur of our time, he has a vision about making humanity better and he is trying to accomplish it. And no he does not care only about money. He invested all his personal money to save his companies with everything on the line back when they were about to go bankrupt. He has a very good way about finding the right people for the various jobs. He used to sleep in the factory to make sure everything was running as planned (and no it is not a rumor many workers confirmed it).

Elon wants to wake up in the morning and think about the future and be excited and happy. Even if he fails he inspired a lot of people to actually accelerate the evolution of technology. 50 years ago we went to the moon and then nothing. We should have bases on the moon by now. He taught us that our imagination can become reality and the amazing things humans can achieve.

And don't forget that in 10 years he built a rocket company from the bottom and they launched successfully reusable big rockets that landed back to earth. NASA couldn't achieve this in all the years they've been active and all the budget they possess. And he done it in just 10 years. Don't underestimate him.

The cars are absolutely amazing to drive, and to own.

[jorgearmandorodriguezrodri]

Elon musk deserves a nobel prize no doubt

[rdeyeshine]

*If only there more rich people open minded like him.*

[khavaliar]

Bob Lutz.. singing Tesla will die since 2014..
Edit: found articles as far back as 2010

[letoatreides]

Wow who would guess a guy handed everything in life would run a company into the ground, while a guy who actually built companies up and invented stuff from nothing would succeed.

[LilGuch]

i say it all the time but Elon is a living Tony Stark

[paulholland]

Just one of the very few individuals from our time whose life will be studied and discussed in the next century.

[CultofThings]

He should sell his own Cologne and call it "Musk"

[anarkitype]

They're looking to sabotage. The whole interview has nothing interesting to ask or say. "General Motors of the future?" Jesus.

Only watched for Elon.

[JustWastedHoursHere]

Bob Lutz is also a climate change denier. I guess if you're one of the world's largest automakers it kind of goes with the territory...

Also, I dare say that Tesla has survive this long BECAUSE of Elon's honesty, which is a rare commodity in the business world.

[RetroBerner]

Already top selling luxury vehicles in the US, give it another few years and it'll be mainstream
