Given they've already done it with the Roadster, Model S and Model X, I think we have to give them a lot more credit than just another Kickstarter.

I'm pretty sure they know what they're doing, given they made the highest rated vehicle, ever.

They know what they are doing with regard to expensive, luxury, low-production volume vehicles. The question is whether they know how to scale and make money.
It's a tough pivot from a high-cost, high-margin company to a low-cost, low-margin company. HP, SGI, and IBM all failed at it.
Unlike those companies, the low end has been part of the plan since day one.
