Tesla is (attempting to) scale up production to capture market share at a time when it's just not profitable to sell electric cars. If BMW says they can't yet be made at a profit, I believe them - not the guy who lives on subsidies.
Once there is profit to be had and "game on," people are going to buy from existing brands with deep manufacturing expertise, not from a hype machine that might not be in business in 5 years.
- sergiosgc 8y agoI don't know where you get the idea that electric cars are not profitable. The higher end models are obviously profitable. As for mid-range, the Munro teardown shows the model 3 as not only profitable but highly profitable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAS-yjWj9DY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAS-yjWj9DY
- akmiller 8y ago"lives on subsidies" Tesla is well below that of many other car manufacturers on receiving government subsidies. BMW has received them as well!
