No faith in American curriculum...you have.

While completing my Chemical Engineering program I was not blinded from what went on in other Engineering programs. In fact, I had to take some classes focused on other types of engineering.

Not only that, but I learned how much things caused. Budgets and what not. I was taught to have a "feel' for numbers. Working in the field reinforces this "feel". Tesla is in over their head.

Unless Tesla has some serious friendships in some serious developement and supply firms, I don't see how they could possilby survive. They are developing a car that will be the first of its kind that has to pass all types of inspections and expectations. Safety and warranties and shit...and they're selling this car below $100k. $100k? That's CHEAP. No way are they turning a profit.

They have a chassis, but they had to DEVELOP a powertrain. You don't have a "feel" for how much this type of shit cost. I do. $200 million or whatever they've bamboozled from people isn't enough.
