I think there are a lot of products out there that have so much potential in the future if they can get past the first hump. Take Tesla for example, it almost died 4 years ago and has now released a working concept of free charges. Think about how far that idea can go, practically "free" transportation much sooner than we could have imagined. Whereas if the company died 4 years ago, how much longer would it take? What if companies decided to start out charging just like they do for gasoline?
