Charlie Rose - A conversation with Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors The interview was ok, not "wow" IMHO. Click on the Transcript link if you want to read it. Some great quotes and some info that I didn't realize: I knew about the higher efficiency of electric motors and how inefficient IC engines are but didn't know about the apparently low energy density of lithium ion batteries. Dang! We really do need some breakthroughs in battery technology.
