Can a company like Tesla become a player?

Has it already changed the auto industry?

GM's car guru, Bob Lutz, has stated that Tesla was a factor in the decision to move aggressively towards the Chevy Volt. Thus, if not for Tesla, would there even be a Volt?

Possibly, but without doubt, Tesla motivated GM to move faster towards vehicles such as the Volt. But back to Tesla.

Thus far, the automaker has over-promised and under delivered, though there are signs the company has turned a corner with deliveries finally reaching some consumers. Still, making a few thousand cars per year is far different than making hundreds of thousands per year.

Even if a company such as Tesla perfects its technology and manufacturing, can such an automaker become a major US automaker? Or is a buy out the only future for such companies?

As you are likely already aware, the internets exploded yesterday with what is apparently leaked details from the friends and family alpha of Wrath of the Lich King.wholesale electronicsbluetooth headsetwholesalechina wholesalediscountMP3 playerMP4 playermp4 watchesmp5psp accessoriesArguably the biggest part of this news was that we apparently have access to very early versions of the new talent trees for several of the existing classes. Being the responsible, conscientious Mage columnist that I am,I immediately pored over the Mage talent trees, devouring this very premature, more than likely never-to-see-the-light-of-day info like a starving man would tear into a steak.Of course,wedding dresseswedding dresswholesale digital cameraswholesale clothingwholesale furnitureMemory CardMemory Stickwholesale atvwholesale jewelrywholesale handbagsas we all know by now, information coming out this early is almost guaranteed to differ radically from what actually makes it live. Still, it serves a purpose. Even if none of these spells and talents reach the live servers unmolested, wholesale shoeswholesale t shirtsMen's outerwearWomen's outerwearMens outerwearskin care productswholesale mp3wholesale mobile phonesdigital camera wholesaledropshipconsumer electronicsgadgetswholesale silver jewelrygps devicesat least we're getting a glimpse into Blizzard's development process,and possibly seeing the direction they intend to take our beautiful class in.We like Blizzard around here, and since they made it clear that they do not want us posting the new info directly,I won't be specifically listing the new Mage talents here. You can find those on the WotLK information Wiki, so click away. When you're done, come on back and join me after the jump,where I'll give my take on what the expansion appears to have in store for Mages.
