Tesla is a crony capitalist scam, they are burning though nearly half billion in guaranteed loans from the U.S. government. This car is WORSE for the environment than regular autos (inefficiently powered across the grid by coal power plants, uses toxic hazardous batteries) and there is no market here. Tesla's lobbyists and insider investors (including Mercedes) are already cashed out with the IPO. Taxpayers stand to lose their entire "investment."
