:lol:

Do you have any idea how many cars you have to sell for a car to actually be successful?

Tesla won’t go belly up, but if they can’t build a car they can market to the mainstream car buyer for main stream car prices they won’t be in the car business long. AKA, a 4 door, 5 passenger sedan for \<30k. Without that their cars will be nothing but toys for eccentric rich people.
