What the industry kept foisting on us were half-baked compromises\u2014you know, hybrid cars that looked like hamsters (Toyota Prius) and felt like they were powered by them, too.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla, however, is different. As Vance writes:<\/p>\n<p>With Tesla Motors, Musk has tried to revamp the way cars are manufactured and sold, while building out a worldwide fuel distribution network at the same time. Instead of hybrids, which in Musk lingo are suboptimal compromises, Tesla strives to make all-electric cars that people lust after and that push the limits of technology.<br \/>\nI remember the first time I test drove a Model S. It didn&#8217;t feel like a compromise. It felt like the coolest driving experience I&#8217;ve ever had, and I&#8217;ve wanted to buy one ever since. <\/p>\n<p>Musk and his Tesla team could have come out with the world&#8217;s greatest hybrid, but that would have also been the world&#8217;s greatest compromise. He&#8217;s inventing the future, not making a comfortable causeway to the past. That&#8217;s why he&#8217;s winning.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/readwrite.com\/2015\/06\/19\/all-in-on-the-future\">Read full article<\/a> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matt Asay writes a wicked analysis of why Tesla, Amazon and Apple work so dang well and have become such powerful forces in our society.
