How could Tesla survive let alone find Glory in a totally dysfunctional world and climate on steriods?
It cannot. Tesla is doomed, obviously!
It ain't necessarily so...
We Brits have made a speciality of turning failure into Glorious Defeat. Occasionally so do the Gringos - "Remember the Alamo!!".
So TESLA's legacy may be that of glorious failure - beautiful vehicles produced for a world crumbling around us. The stuff of glorious legend for a dystopian future..
yeah but the once so glorious british car industry is basically non-existent other than with foreign owned brand-survival with very few exceptions and almost none on large scale.
as we know bentley is volkswagen owned, vauxhal has been opel's with a different logo for years and GM owned for decades, rolls-royce is bmw owned, rover has ceased to exist and so on.
since we are talking tesla = car manufacturer with all the industry-typical stuff involved, i predicted from day one that the brand and/or the know-how will be merged/purchased by a big player and tesla won't survive as an independent car manufacturer in it's current form.
this thread would have long ceased to be interesting if the tesla-cons wer able to admit that tesla plays a major role in a necessary and overdue process of traffic electrification and if tesla-pros were able to admit that the business model will ultimately lead to a merger or a buy out at best or bankruptcy at worst.
this thread is basically a back and forth bickering between those who say glory because of the factuel contribution of tesla to the above mentioned important developement and the those who say fail because tesla is not managed properly and the slightest crisis of any kind will bring the company down as such.
both are right and that's the ridiculous thing here, two groups are head-banging over something that is obvious, only that one group cannot admit that the other group has a point and vice versa.
if the meaning of this thread is about whether tesla will survive, i say not, not as an independent company but eventually as a brand that will be bought-out.
