The way to overcome this is to write milestones into the smart contract that unlock additional funding after the milestone is hit in a given time period. The issue with today's ICO is that the market demand is so high it would be silly

Tesla isn't a car company, it's an energy company that is building the Model E on their energy platform. Reading their SEC 10-K[0] will show this. Solar is 55% of all new installations in the USA and Tesla is the leader in solar
