Fiscal reality is catching up with them. When people on /r/teslamotors (it's normally a non-stop pep rally about Tesla, sort of like t_d is for Trump) are able to be upvoted for presenting critical thoughts about Tesla's financial state you know something is happening. Also: see https://www.reddit.com/r/RealTesla/ https://www.reddit.com/r/RealTesla/ It would be sad to see them go but at the same time it seems like they sorta did their job: they have ignited lust for electric vehicles in the general public. Car manufacturers have responded and are shifting their production plans accordingly.

  I did not write that because of this particular issue alone. Since they are a public company you can actually read their financials on the interwebs.

  The analogy "a deal he couldn't refuse" includes a threat as well as an incentive. Or at least it has since the 70s. https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/an-offer-he-cant-refuse.html https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/an-offer-he-cant-refuse....

> If you're interested in Tesla, but not looking for an echo chamber of circlejerkery, this is the place for you. From the subreddit rules. And yet, that send to be exactly what that subreddit is, just from the opposite perspective (negative). On the comments on the top several posts I saw, they are all speculation and shit talking. A top comment is adamant that Elon Musk is a scan artist who will leave nothing to the world except questions about how he managed up scan everyone for so long. Seriously? Renewed interest in electric vehicles and home battery technology? The first private company to revitalize the space industry? The first person to ever oversee the landing of first stage boosters and then also reuse them? All of that counts for nothing? That subreddit is worse than the Musk can do no won't crowd. The are annoying, but at least they are helping to publicize the amazing strides being made and not just crapping on who Musk takes to the Met Gala, like that even matters.
