Put it in another perspective. Tesla has a larger market capitalization than Ford. Ford made $8 Billion in profits last yr. Tesla has not made a dime of profit yet in its company history...
Tesla is not dead yet. Amazon similarly took a while to turn the corner on profitability...
Saw this story a few wks ago regarding tech stock darlings...

I’m talking about GM Elon disciple. Not Tesla. I’ve openly said I like the product Tesla makes, I just think Tesla is poorly run

I think the biggest thing that would hurt Tesla is if other car manufacturers figure out that people don't want to drive nerdy Prius looking cars and that most people would be open to switching to electric vehicles eventually if more of them looked like Tesla's.



Porsche Taycan....going to kill Tesla.

Ford Escort
Ford Explorer
brought back the Chevrolet Camaro
Chevrolet Malibu
Cadillac CTS
Cadillac SRX
Buick Enclave
Buick Lacrosse
Pontiac G8
Chevrolet Volt
Brought Chrysler back to profitability

One of the other car manufacturers will buy out Tesla once things get bad enough.

They may buy the name when the company is dissolving. Too much debt to ever have someone take it over.

Any company that turns a profit can snipe at Tesla with credibility. And GM usually turns a profit.

It also doesn’t take GM (or any legitimate competitor to GM) 34,000 employees to build 160,000 cars per year.

Move aside old fossils, Elon is literally changing the world in 2018

Lutz's comments come after news of a criminal probe into Tesla, as well as a new competitor hitting the market in the form of Audi's new electric car.


Musk could salvage Tesla IF he leads an aggressive campaign to lure some of the top automotive talent to work at Tesla. He needs people who have a background in managing a car company to run Tesla.

Tesla has some good product and it'll be a shame if they had to shut down.
