Tesla has done something incredible by starting up an entirely new auto-maker and getting EVs on the road that everyday people can use. That doesn't mean they are for everyONE, but they are out there being used, even here in Alaska. You might irrationally hate them, but they work. That's the big difference between EVs as a concept and what some of the automakers have tinkered with over the years, and the reality today. Obviously, Tesla has to deliver on the Model 3s, we all know this. It could be make-or-break, but what they've done so far is nothing short of amazing. The way they generate cash is no different from any other start-up, but it has to transition to sustainability and they have to be able to bring these new technologies/products to the market. I could sit here and bring up the huge subsidies that Ford and GM got, but I feel that wouldn't be a very good use of my time, you can look it up yourself.
