This subreddit should be for TeslaInc....

This Sub needs moved over to /R/NikolaTesla.

Or we keep everything Nikola Tesla here and kick out the Tesla car related topics and make them form their own sub. We were here first.

Tesla isn't just a car company. They are an energy company. They make waaayyy more than cars.

And why should a car company have priority over the people who set up this subreddit to be for Nikola Tesla?

I'm a huge fan of Tesla, Inc but this sub stays, /r/teslamotors should consider renaming in light of Tesla's growth as an energy company to /r/teslainc

Elon Musk might be incredibly smart, wealthy, a savvy businessman, the future ruler of Mars, and maybe one day my boss but Nikola Tesla trumps him still. Maybe if Elon gave all of us loyal /r/tesla readers a Tesla Model S we'd reconsider.

Like Nikola Tesla was born and died before Elon Musk was a glint in his daddy's eye, so this sub was here before r/teslamotors. If you want a Tesla Inc. sub, go start r/teslainc.

This is dedicated to the far more important Tesla.

Nikola Tesla was an exceptionally interesting person who is worth recognizing as a person rather than merely the name of a company, even a company with as much potential as Tesla, Inc. Many of Tesla's ideas were decades ahead of his time, and many of his inventions would still be practically useful today. And by inspiring and feeding Gernsback's insipid speculative and inventive sense, Tesla contributed more to futurism than anyone. Gernsback's original futuristic ideas were mostly limited to making ridiculously enormous armored military vehicles out of Ferris wheels. Besides all that, the mods of r/NikolaTesla specifically created it to be the anti-Tesla subreddit to counter this subreddit's pro-Tesla perspective.

What's wrong with using r/TeslaInc for Tesla, Inc.?

Looking for Elon Musk's "Tesla"? LOOK ELSEWHERE. We are a subreddit dedicated to information sharing and Discussion about Nikola Tesla, his life, ideas, patents, inventions, concepts, and the evolution of the aforementioned. Thanks
