When real automobile manufacturers, with a century plus of manufacturing history decide to compete Tesla will be ground into the dust.

Like about now.
...and to add, Tesla has done all this while burning money.

Cars may have zero emissions, but see all that smoking coming out of the Fremont factory stacks? That's investor cash being burned.
