After last week's unveil of the all-new Tesla Model 3, still in concept form, it seems that potential buyers cannot get enough of Elon Musk's all-new product. Though official information has yet to be released, that has not scared off hundreds of thousands of handraisers from putting down a $1,000 deposit.

This is something that's never been seen before in the automotive space. Sure, 10,000 units here, 30,000 pre-orders there. That was once a big deal. Now it's a joke.

From the vehicles themselves to the pitch man to the company's business model, it seems like the company is unstoppable. It's kind of like when Apple introduced the first-gen iPhone. It was a gamechanger, everyone knew it and lined up to buy into Steve Jobs' vision.

This time it's Elon Musk and the Model 3.

As we have thought about the electric vehicle space, it seems as though no traditional auto manufacturer has the product, buzz or person to move units. Here's a fun little game. THINK: How many billions of dollars have been wasted, fruitlessly, to take down Tesla when one of the big players could have simply bought them outright?

All that said, we're a wee bit curious: On a percentage basis, 1-100, what are the chances that a traditional auto manufacturer can take on and beat Tesla?



The GREAT Debate: Give Us A %, 1-100, That ANY Of The Traditional Automakers Have A Shot At Beating Tesla In The EV Space
