More bad news at Tesla motors...

Tesla is a gov't contractor posing as a private business. Has to be. Because nothing else makes sense. Only the gov't can afford to loose money.

There is actually one thing that makes sense. Musk, who has enough personal wealth to buy a country, can afford to lose money. He did invent paypal after all. Although there have been profitable quarters at Tesla, he isn't actually worried about it at this time. Rather than striving to glorify the annual report by showing profits,, he is instead spending those billions of dollars back into research and development, and expansion. I wish Chrysler had done that instead of constant cost-cutting and reducing their product line. Thanks, Bob Eaton.

Bob Eaton was a loser who in my mind destroyed Chrysler, Iacocca said later that he felt that Lutz would have been the better choice as his successor.
 
There isn't a thing I understand about Tesla.

Still sort of makes my point. Musk is a grant money whore. In no way can one person independently amass this kind of wealth without an organization clearing the path. Microsoft, Amazon, PP, fleabay, etc... Have virtually no competition and if anything says we haven't had a true free market economy (in prob 100 yrs) this should be proof. Need more proof? Challenge any one of these operations and see how long it takes to be bought out or Clinton-ed. But there is one thing in common. The above mentioned companies all work toward one goal and that is to control the world's population while funneling our money into their off shore bank accounts. Crisis are created to consolidate wealth while fear is used to usher in more control over the population. 9/11? All this done with a happy face called 5G; sustainable development; climate change; megaregions; UN agenda 2030; Belt and Road Initiative and so on.
 
Perhaps this will be a bit of a worry to Tesla. The new electric car company - Lucid - is showing their four door sedan beating a Tesla on the drag strip while pulling a 9.9 second quarter mile.

Lucid is financed by several Chinese investors.......and that's exactly what we need. :(

Lucid built in Chandler, Arizona reported to be Saudi funded. 9.9 quarter 500 + mile range.
 
I didn't dig deep enough.....so, Saudi majority owned with 33% owned by China?

And why did we want from under OPEC's control of oil just to go to one of these?

Why do you think Saudis are financing electric vehicles... the world is going electric sooner or later... so they want in...

As far as Tesla goes - can't blame Musk for taking advantage of government money that is being offered... if the government stopped funding of private corporations at least 3/4 would close up shop tomorrow. the problem is the government does not tax corporations at the same rate they support them - look at the major companies listed earlier in this thread... how many corporate taxes do they pay compared to money usurped?
