It sounds like the problem is "the cause". If Tesla is successful, it will be because they focused on making a good car rather than relying on the cause to attract buyers. Yet there is this large cheering section that want the car to succeed, but probably aren't considering buying the car. Take a look at some of the Reddit threads about the expected profits, and you highly see upvoted comments talking about the NY Times debacle as though it is something that Tesla "won". I can't know whether Elon Musk is actually caught up in the cause of electric cars, but it increasingly passes for a explanation of strange decisions.
