GM is still around Chrysler is still around (albeit as part of Fiat) Tesla lost $5.79 per share over the last four quarters, or about a billion dollars. Uber and Lyft are each still around despite the fact that they each also lose about a billion dollars per year. Honestly I have a hard time

I'll bite. I own both a Bolt and a Model 3. I prefer to drive the Bolt over the Model 3 when it comes to "safety". I prefer to drive the Model 3 when it comes to long distance driving. I think the Bolt's sensor systems are superior to the Model 3's especially to the rear and blind spot areas.

Yes, I believe they will last. Of course, they have a lot of people trying to cause them to fail. It is sort of mind blowing but anyone watching can see that most articles about them are negative. Big brokerage houses can cause panic in the market which is exactly what they have done. They just

I'm a big Tesla fan and they have been mentioned in a couple of the recent ongoing threads quite a bit. Personally I do not see how they can last. I will be surprised if they are still in business in 5 years. Their business model seems to be try to build enough hype to keep drawing in
