The car manufacturer that vows to end the tyranny of the internal combustion engine has a way of splitting observers into ardent believers and angry skeptics. Since January, 2013, the shares of Tesla Motors Inc. have shot up more than sevenfold, putting the company's market value in the same ballpark as Ford's and General Motors'. Yet the electric-car maker is on track to sell only 55,000 vehicles this year – a tiny fraction of the millions that will be moved by the Detroit giants.

To help us evaluate this divisive stock, we asked a bull - Teal Linde, President of investment research firm Linde Equity in Vancouver – and a bear – Alex Ruus, portfolio manager at Arrow Capital Management in Toronto - to give us their takes on Tesla's future.
