@gpcivil8807 well, you conflate two things erroneously. You confused good marketing helping sales, a showman as a CEO and being high quality.
Let's look at the product. Weird charging cable, there's a standard, Tesla decided to be Betamax to the world's VHS. The automagic driving drives into obstacles, with lethal results if the driver isn't babysitting it closely and the number of emergency vehicles rammed by the automagics is absurd. Seriously, how does an automatic drive system not spot a frigging firetruck?! Ambluance?! Police car, sure, after all, the lights and siren are cloaking devices or something.
Fires, alas, that's nowhere near a Tesla only issue, babies wet, high energy batteries short and catch fire.

@gpcivil8807 so, sales makes something better? Which is better, Smith and Wesson or Colt?
Odd that you didn't bother commenting with the well documented problems, from proprietary charging connector that nobody else in the world uses or their incessant automagic drive crashes and the intensive babysitting needed to simply avoid a crash in automagic mode.
But, since we're talking about Musk, not Tesla as a product line producer, how's that hyperloop going? The magical brain electrodes that are doing precisely what was done in the 1970's, with an infection rate that's shocking even by 1970's standards and forced an end to that college collaborating with his company?
SpaceX, well, he didn't have much of a choice but to make it priority #1, failure to perform on a government contract gets to be insanely expensive.
Frankly, the man reminds me of Liberace, a fair pianist only, but a hell of a showman. If I had to choose a pianist when he was alive to play for royalty, he'd not be my first choice, but a superior pianist instead.
Brand isn't the important part, function, quality and in the case of vehicles, the damned thing not trying to kill you is just a little bit important. Ain't heard of any Chevy Bolts ramming into emergency equipment and highway dividers.
Or any other manufacturer stupid enough to have a car fart instead of making noises that would warn a pedestrian that a car was coming.
Or blatantly manipulating stock prices repeatedly, despite orders to cease and desist doing so again.
