If being blunt I'd say that Tesla is the flashy rip off show that needs to get out of the way.

They scare potential new EV buyers with their pricing & scare anything except fashion trend investors.

Have they been helpful in spreading the story?
Yes.

Like all revolutions though, once the victory is won, the fighters need to get out of the way & let others take the reins.

It'll be the actual majors who will put us in a catapult to the moon, not a company which will see a true SP collapse once they hit difficulties or the shine just wears off- no dividends, a company worth more than Ford yet producing less cars than god knows- some Indian brand none of us have ever heard of?

There's only way that can end.

The fallout will be a lot of burnt rich people, a lot of angry people in congress & a lot of gun shy small investors.

Still- as long as Elon can waltz about pretending he invented the wheel, water and fire, bail out his brother in law? with investor's money & be lauded as some kind of saviour?
The show will roll on.
