They're making cars, pretty decent cars, and spurring the industry towards electric much faster than they would have without Tesla. If they end up setting a bunch of investor money on fire to do this, whatever. The world needs this more than it needs those investors to make money.

As evidenced by the hypergrowth of EVs in Europe over the last few quarters, it is government regulation which is shifting the industry to EVs, not Tesla. I agree that Tesla’s strategy is to boil the ocean with investor money by pushing costly, immature technology before it can be used in mainstream autos.
