I've held off on buying a Tesla because I don't know for sure if the company will be around in several years and I worry about maintenance. News like this obviously doesn't help, but it makes me wonder when is a "good" time to buy a Tesla where it seems like a safer bet?

My take is if you are going to be stodgy and practical wait two more years and pick what's available then. There are lots of electric car models in development. Also with battery prices falling the price differential will be nearly gone by then.

Also if you just want a 'car' buy a Chevy Bolt.
