And I have to say I think that \u003ca href=\"http://www.teslamotors.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tesla Motors\u003c/a> started the revolution of these small companies diving into starting electric vehicle programs, and a lot of that is because there were just simply no offerings from major manufacturers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla, to its credit, came in and said, “We’re going to do this.” They built prototypes, captured the imagination of a lot of people and were able to raise a lot of money. Then comes along Fisker, which is a company that was founded by Henrick Fisker, who was a well-known designer for BMW and Aston Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he designed beautiful vehicles, and he was able to also get a lot of financing from wealthy investors to start a company to make a beautiful plug-in hybrid model.

That’s what you get with a startup; you just don’t have the execution ability that a Toyota, a General Motors, a Nissan has.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cstrong>RACHAEL MYROW\u003c/strong>:\u003c/strong> Tesla Motors, based in Palo Alto, is pretty tight now with Toyota.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cstrong>MIKE RAMSEY\u003c/strong>:\u003c/strong> Toyota, a few years ago under Akio Toyoda, who’s the grandson of the founder, made an investment. He was so taken after visiting with Tesla with what they were doing and how they were doing it. When Toyota made the investment, it was a huge help to Tesla because it gave them credibility in the markets. It also gave them access to some of Toyota’s parts bin, which means they could buy parts at a reduced rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it gave them a stream of income because the company was going to be supplying batteries for a Toyota Rav4.

These oil tankers are roughly the size of the Exxon Valdez oil tanker. They carry millions of gallons of oil, and if that ship had hit the bridge any harder and broken open a hull, even if it was just bunker fuel, you would have had a large spill in the bay.
