Electric cars aren't pollution-free; they have to get their energy from somewhere.

I've actually made a prediction that within 30 years a majority of new cars made in the United States will be electric. And I don't mean hybrid, I mean fully electric.

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

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

We still see that people don't really realize that electric cars are here right now. And when we show up with an actual vehicle, and you see it drive away under its own power, it's still kind of a jaw-dropping moment for a lot of people.

And what's interesting about the hybrids taking off is you've now introduced electric motors to the automobile industry. It's the first radical change in automobile technology in 100 years.

I don't believe in the electric cars, but I strongly believe in hybrids.

I think there are more politicians in favor of electric cars than against. There are still some that are against, and I think the reasoning for that varies depending on the person, but in some cases, they just don't believe in climate change - they think oil will last forever.

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

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