While someone else replied, I feel it's worth putting this more strongly: this is categorically untrue. Chapter 7 provides for "the sale of a debtor's nonexempt property and the distribution of proceeds to creditors." http://www.uscourts.gov/services-forms/bankruptcy/bankruptcy-basics/chapter-7-bankruptcy-basics http://www.uscourts.gov/services-forms/bankruptcy/bankruptcy... There is virtually no question that the Supercharger network will be bought by someone in the event of Tesla going under -- another car company, or another company that already operates a charging network, or even a new company formed to run the network. The new owner would almost certainly open it up to non-Tesla customers if that's at all possible, too. I don't think this is just true of this network, either; I have little doubt that all of Tesla will be bought if they collapse, although they might be broken up and bought piecemeal. If I was forced to make a prediction for Tesla's fate, though, this wouldn't be it. I think it's most likely that Tesla will be bought in total by another carmaker within four years, and it will continue as a semi-independent brand for years past that, with its technology being diffused through the rest of their new owner's properties -- and vice-versa.
