What Is Elon Musk's Ultimate Goal?

I always enjoy reading about EVs, especially the Tesla series. If I were younger I would have signed up to work for Mr. Musk, and if I had the money I would be driving around in 10% of my then net worth. But I didn't and I don't, and it's probably for the better since I probably would have been fired for not "drinking the Kool Aid".

The more I look at the numbers, the more I wonder who is the target market for these things. It can't be someone who makes less than a quarter million USD per year, it can't be someone with less than a million in disposable income, it can't be someone who owns less than three cars, it can't be anybody living in an apartment building, coop, or condo, it can't be somebody who feels that driving four hours and waiting nearly another hour to continue the journey is a practical use of their time, and it certainly can't be someone who's done the math and feels that investing a hundred grand in a wasting asset whose operating and life cycle costs are equal to or greater than the alternatives is a wise business decision.

No, it's got to be some who wants, and can afford, the "I'm cool, look at me..." factor, and is looking to make that statement any way he/she can, and that market is very thin and competitive, comprised of less than 3% of the population. (As a quicky survey, are there any registered CR4 members who actually own a Tesla? No APs please.)

That being said, there's got to be more to Elon's vision than he's letting on to, and that's the part that I would enjoy being privy to. As a "dyed in the wool" electric utility power engineering guy I think that "I get it", and I just wonder how all the Musk supporters out there are going to feel when down the road a piece he starts announcing that he is joining forces with the major power producers to help, not hurt, their expansion efforts. These are indeed exciting times that we live in.
