I love how Tesla fans are so quick to applaud how much money Tesla is making from them. It seems most of "the mission" is (re-) building Musk's wealth.
> such as their heat pumps
The heat pumps that have been a problematic nightmare?

- toomuchtodo 4y agoMoney pays the bills. It’s why Tesla is successful and automakers who tried to sell econobox EVs couldn’t. Build sexy cars people with purchasing power will buy, and younger consumers aspire to. Pour that into fast DC chargers and rapidly expanding global manufacturing capacity. Profit. You cannot will these things into existence, they require capital (investment, revenue, whatever). No one ever said Katy Perry had the Bolt or Nissan leaf of tour stages. I recommend some brand equity reading, as well as behavioral economics around the psychology of auto purchases (lots of emotion, brand loyalty, etc). https://twitter.com/katyperry/status/444228348319784960 https://twitter.com/katyperry/status/444228348319784960 (“Omg someone just called my stage the TESLA of tour stages... It was like, the coolest modern compliment ever.”) (2014)
