Most people would think Tesla is successful at doing it, but I differ. Just look at their profit reports. They maybe successful at brand recognition (like in 2015 and that is no longer the case for 2016), but certainly not from a business standpoint. I admire their vision though.

People are selling their Tesla after owning them for less than 12 months at a rate higher than, let's say BMW, because of their interior quality at that price range.

You pay a price for newest technology and that's what Tesla customers paid for.
