The same arguments get slapped back to me with evangelical fervor every time I attempt to enlighten a Tesla fan to the brutal, evolutionary grind that is the car industry.
Tesla, I am frequently informed, is not like any other car company, and that’s true. Most car companies need consecutive profitable quarters every decade or so to keep their investors interested.
It’s retorted that I don’t understand the big picture, the integrated nature of the Musk revolution, the astonishing level of turnover re-invested in R&D, the data it already owns and will collect in the future, the disruptive nature of what Tesla has already done.
