If it had been Eberhard Motors, it would take a little more work to rewrite history.
I had always felt that if you started a company and named it after yourself, you were being a bit conceited, Now I see that it does have one big advantage,
If someone else tries to take credit for it, at least they have to go through the trouble of changing the name.
The erasing of Martin will be easy.
Rather than an empty EP, I think the banner on this site should feature both the car and the founders.

So who would be included in the "Gallery of founders"? Martin and Marc of course, but JB and Elon certain joined early, helped create the product and lent initial financial backing.
This article suggest that Martin and Marc were #1 & #2 with JB and Elon being #3 and #4...
Mike Harrigan and Malcom Powell have certainly been instrumental, but not quite "founders" I gather.
Then there are the lower level early hires who have done a lot of real hard work. Gene-B, Phil-L, David-L, etc. Those guys likely deserve tons of credit and recognition, but again, not really founders...
Obviously there's limited space on a banner, but TEG's idea for a Gallery is great. Possibly a sub-forum under Tesla Motors labelled "Early-History" is what is really needed. Could get contributions/reminiscences from many sources.
Would help jog Martin's memory when he comes to write that autobiography
