It's something many of their customers could use and the industry is running all but identical to how it ran twenty years ago. The stage is set for total domination. The Tesla is neat. The Tesla is inspired. But the Tesla also takes longer to charge than you can drive it wide open. It might leave conventional cars in its silent dust in a straight line drag race, but the ridiculous weight of the thing is a serious detriment to any kind of handling or range. So, I think Porsche should make a golf cart. Rather than build another disappointing, irrelevant Porsche, here's an industry ripe for the picking!
