re: Tesla.....Tech vs Financial Realities.....Discuss The Investment Thesis

korkstand, on the tech side, is tesla tech really that far ahead that nobody can compete anytime soon? I fully understand all the hot young engineers wanting to work there vs volvo,gm,or ford but overall other companies can and will catch up soon right? I know theyll never have the tesla brand which alone is worth a ton, but everyday i feel like tesla is just gonna go bankrupt and someone is gonna just buy the brand and gigafactory for pennies on the dollar. The financial picture is a huge disconnect from the product and its so interesting to me because most every other product the more popular it is, the more they make. Tesla just seems to be investing in future growth with all its money but it may not survive to see it materialize
