While I would also love to see a documentary about that.
Just because Tesla is still alive today, doesn't mean he was lucky. When you look at all the events that took place in between 2002-2008:
+ Having to sell cars during the 2008 depression
+ extreme difficulty finding investment
+ millions in sunk costs on inventory which they threw out (under the first CEO)
+ going through a divorce war during the IPO.
+ hiring a designer which started a competing company
These events don't seem very lucky.
