There is a new hunger in the air for automotive design and looking to where automobiles are going in the future. Tesla will capture this through good design and engineering.

The goal of Tesla is to accelerate sustainable energy, so we're going to take a step back and think about what's most likely to achieve that goal.

Tesla is becoming a real car company.

Tesla is here to stay and keep fighting for the electric car revolution.

Obviously Tesla is about helping solve the consumption of energy in a sustainable manner, but you need the production of energy in a sustainable manner.

We have teams of people working on electric cars. So you never know - you may find Virgin competing with the Tesla in the car business as we do in the space business.

At Tesla, we don't go into a community and think we're going to sell one or two cars.

Electric cars are not going to take the market by storm, but it's going to be a gradual improvement.

I think long term you can see Tesla establishing factories in Europe, in other parts of the U.S. and in Asia.

I see a future where American companies lead the world in the production of hybrid-plug in cars and electric vehicles.
