Problem
A. What existing industries may be directly and indirectly affected by Musk's ventures (e.g., Tesla Motors, SolarCity, and SpaceX)? How? What stages of the industry life cycle are these industries (space travel, electric car, and solar panel) in respectively? Is any evidence suggesting that the industry is in this particular stage of the industry life cycle? How does Tesla change its strategy as the industry of electric cars evolves to different stages?
B. Would you purchase/adopt the electric car? Why or why not? Do you consider yourself innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, or laggards? What are the characteristics of your group of adopters? What motivates your adoption of technology?
