Four years ago Tesla was in the throes of model 3 production and had the potential of huge demand once they got going.
Where are things now? Other automakers have responded with alternatives. Good ones too, you can buy a Hyundai for a similar price and according to consumer reports, better reliability.
What’s on the horizon for Tesla? Trucks and Semis but those aren’t as mass market as model 3, and self driving cars have shown themselves to be… less than feasible.

- kenhwang 4y ago> Tesla has the highest margins of all automakers by far. What an absurd statement. Tesla's is ~30%, which is high but not too far off from the ~20% of Toyota and the Germans (VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes). But that's ignoring Porsche with ~85%.
