I definitely want more competition in the area. Tesla has some obnoxious practices that competition will force them to improve. But without Tesla we would not have the charging stations we have now. We would be stuck with the occasional plug in hybrid. Legacy manufacturers were simply not advancing.

Elon musk bought a great business and is ruining the image, but they are still awesome cars compared to gas. Even if they completely fail now, I'm still glad they were around to force others to innovate.

I agree that Tesla lit a fire under the other auto manufacturers asses. I absolutely give credit where credit is due. But now, they've got competition, and Tesla's reputation for quality and reliability ain't great.
