I'm slightly ambivalent about Elon Musk but in general I think he's a cool dude and I support almost everything he's doing despite all the trendy hate surrounding him. That being said, I think Tesla will succeed simply due to the fanboyism surrounding the company. Tesla reminds me of Apple, just way more innovative. Musk is driven and he has proven his doubters fantastically wrong numerous times throughout his life. It would be silly to bet against him in the long-term IMO.
I gotta say though, aside from the Model S, I find Teslas to be pretty ugly cars. The Model S is badass looking no doubt, but the other models look aesthetically clunky to me from certain angles (namely the rear). From the rear, the SUV/crossover looks a VW Tiguan or something, but somehow uglier. The Model 3... just not a big fan. I'm sure some of you agree.
