There will be Tesla defenders right till the end.

  I guess some people like companies that produce great products?

  They have earned that. There aren't many companies who care about anything other than making money.

    I have a bridge to sell ... So Tesla is good ("anything other than making money"), and Nissan with doing more good by selling more Leafs is not? If Nissan is good, which electic car producer is bad? I would agree on SpaceX - though a cynic might say it's Musks way out of the earth catastrophe[1] - but with many more companies selling electric cars the argument falls flat for me. Especially if one looks at all the allegations by employees - if they are employees at all or sub-contractors without rights. Either Tesla has bad press or there are much more than with other car companies. [1] Because you can be sure you're not the one on the last ship out

      > So Tesla is good ("anything other than making money"), and Nissan with doing more good by selling more Leafs is not? Not saying that. But where were the other automakers when Tesla was single-handedly pushing against the market to make EVs viable? I get people are cynical, but come on. Musk has been actually proving for years that he cares, and the goals for Tesla and SpaceX were idealistic for as long as he was involved, did not change, and the companies did nothing to suggest they're not what he says they are.

        Musk? How? By giving away money? Or by making money? I'm confused.
