It would be totally cool to see a split screen of a 1930 Ford Assembly Plant vs Tesla Robotic Plant.

At Rotary yesterday the speaker was from BMW.  He was talking about their new electric car, and the subject of Tesla came up.  His opinion was that Tesla wasn't a large enough company to be viable on it's own, and that Mercedes might buy it; this would also help Mercedes get their average MPG figures down to meet the coming CAFE standards.  He said that currently, Mercedes is way over the requirements and could be facing large fines when the new regulations take effect.

I'm not sure if he is accurate, but it was interesting.

   Henry Ford would not believe the present-day assembly line.
   Tesla Motors is an electric car company, out of San Diego, bent on
   turning the automotive motive industry upside down, both here in the
   US, and world wide. The company was founded by Elon Musk (born 28 June
   1971) is a South African-born Canadian-American business magnate,
   investor and inventor. He is currently the CEO & CTO of [1]SpaceX and
   CEO & Chief Product Architect of [2]Tesla Motors. He is the founder of
   multiple companies, most notably SpaceX, [3]PayPal, and Tesla Motors.
