Tesla analysts have had enough of Musk's funky forecasts Tesla is making wall street nervous. If wall street turns off the money spickets, the EV industry will be dead. Even with all the money that is being given to them, the industry is not responding like musk would like. Now I read they want to start their own insurance company to offer insurance to their customers. Tesla Offering Car Insurance | Tesla Basically they're forming a captive insurance company. I can only see them doing this to hedge against their massive loss's. Their burning through money, but wall street is also sending it in by the truck load. They're going to spread their losses out, which help their earnings numbers for awhile. In about two years claims will catch up to premiums, then loss's can be exacerbated if not managed correctly. This tells me their having to use financial engineering to keep the ship afloat. This isn't about Tesla giving their customers insurance, as any insurance company will cover an electric vehicle. This is about keeping the wall street money coming in.
I don't think Tesla's going out of business will kill the EV. Most other EV's out EV Tesla. Tesla will disappear because they don't know how to build a car for a profit, and at a extremely high prices they don't offer any proprietary technology they can sell in a luxury EV market. There is no there, there, with Tesla. They migh survive as a battery manufacturer for car companies that know how to build cars, but even with batteries they have no proprietary technology to offer, and with no EPA laws in other countries I don't see a production factory in NV being competitive with China or India or Korea.

Right now, I'd take a Tesla over any other electric car that's available. Tesla had proprietary technology: All Our Patent Are Belong To You | Tesla. Even Musk admits he cannot [yet] build cars for profit; I doubt they'll go completely under, however.

94% of Tesla buyers make over $100,000 per yer and recoup $7,500 in tax rebates per car. Taxpayers should not be paying for anyone making $100,000 per year to buy a car.

The tax credit was to incentivize people to buy electric vehicles to reduce the carbon footprint, but the tax subsidy didn’t even accomplish that goal. The number of gasoline and diesel powered cars on the road have increased year by year.

The tax credits and subsidies on EV should ALL be repealed.

Which laws of physics dictate the energy density of batteries cannot reach the energy density of gasoline?


The laws of physics dictating anodes, cathodes, electrolyte, electrical insulation, thermal dissipation, current carrying capacity , durability , number of recharges , loss of capacity, resistance to vibration , cost and keeping the lithium from bursting into flame .

Tesla is one of the finest examples of salesmanship, showmanship and discovering or manufacturing financial loopholes .

Those $7.5K rebates are available to any and all EV manufacturers for the first 200,000 vehicles they sell. It's not a government gift to Tesla exclusively. Two quarters after the manufacturer reaches 200,000 vehicles, the tax credit is cut in half. Two quarters later it is cut to 25 percent. At the start of the sixth quarter after the limit is reached, the tax credit disappears completely. Tesla is getting close to the 200,000 mark and may have passed it already. Which means that the rebates on the Model 3 at this time may be less than $7.5K.
