I never realized that Musk didn’t start Tesla nor invented the cars they make. He was just an investor and took the company over once the original guys developed the roadster. He’s such a fucking fraud acting like he is the brains behind Tesla and the new electric cars.
This was an interview with Elon one year before the Tesla roadster came out. It's unbelievable, he lays out everything Tesla is about to do. The model S, which he calls the model 2 and the model 3.
The roadster was based on ACPropulsion tzero, which copied the GM EV1 AC electric motor and used laptop batteries. That was the proof of concept for the roadster.
Elon invested in Tesla before they even started design on the roadster. It was his investment that funded the design.
Elon's engineering abilities are solid and so are his engineering management abilities. Elon was able to find people to execute his vision.
