Not really. Their attempt to break with 100 years of innovation by trying to invent a new way to build a car is what broke them.

Potatoe potahtoe

They probably could have been a successful company selling a few thousand 200 thousand dollar electric halo cars a year.

Tesla’s only have cool factor because they are new, rare, and unattainable.

Model 3 destroys all that aside from newness. But that has been eroding all on its own.

Teslas of any kind have not been "cool" for a long, long time.

Clearly you haven't been to Bay Area lately.

I barely saw more there last August than you see here. But I stayed in SF proper for the most part.

Doesn't matter, when I was there last Oct, I have seen 1 Model 3 at the supercharger. This time in Apr, I saw at least 20 on the road in a week.

Model S is still dominant Tesla tho. Surprisingly, I have seen more 3s than Xs. But for the month of Apr, they deliver more 3s than BMW 3 or Merc C series in California. So that probably make sense.

It's not hard to spot at least 5-6 Teslas daily in Bay area.

I see multiples of them on H2 on my commute into Edmonton. Last year, basically saw none.

Ahh shucks, he caught us.

Musk suggests Big Oil is behind critical media coverage of Tesla

First it was Wall Street analysts. Then, short sellers, and then the United Auto Workers. Now, the media is the subject of billionaire Elon Musk’s ire.
Journalists are critical of electric-car maker Tesla Inc. because oil and traditional auto companies are some of the biggest advertising spenders, the chief executive officer wrote in a flurry of tweets Wednesday afternoon. The public no longer respects the media because of “holier-than-thou hypocrisy” and lies, he said.
Musk, 46, was riled by a Robert W. Baird analyst report that said “increasingly immaterial” headlines were dominating Tesla news cycles. The first of his tweets spurred reactions from several journalists who compared Musk with President Donald Trump.

But don’t worry, Musk is going to make his own news source so people can’t be critical of him anymore

....except he's not lying about this. The biggest O&G player in the US has been intentionally working to undermine him since 2016 and it's working on rubes like you.

You quote a an opinion piece about a huffpo article about the Koch brothers and call me a rube in the same sentence?

And over what amounts to 60 seconds of a super bowl commercial time per year (in advertising dollars)?

Yea that’s why everyone is growing critical of Tesla

The Kochs have publicly admitted this is their goal so the publishing source of the admission is irrelevant. You can look it up directly on Koch created websites if you don't like huffpo.

They spend half that on climate change denial and that got them the President tweeting about how climate change is a hoax.

None of that would matter if they could hit their targets(production, QC, etc) or meet their budgets. They had a winner on their hands and squandered it away. Now they will be lucky to last to the end of 2018 at the rate they are blowing through cash.
