No, this hasn't been "debunked".
Have you ever looked at what all the auto majors spend on R&D? Do you you think that it's $0? Both GM and Ford spent $7 Billion on R&D last year. Tesla spent under $1BB. Yes, those old, stodgy, do-nothing companies outspent Tesla by a factor of 10-1 on R&D. This is a heavy R&D based industry.
- Dylan16807 10y agoThat bigger companies spend more on R&D has nothing to do with whether Tesla is able to turn a profit.
