My two cents: Tesla (along with space-x) is doing what is needed. These electric cars that Tesla produces have amazing reliability. These cars - aside from replacing the battery packs about every 10 years - will last very long times with very few problems. There's no extreme heat, no need for oil changes or air filter replacements, tune ups. Your engine starter failing is a thing of the past. It's a huge electric motor and some lithium ion batteries and a computer to control it all. The highway auto-pilot (self driving) is VERY impressive and would make driving long distances MUCH safer. Imagine being tired on a 12-hour drive. If most of that drive is done by auto-pilot, the chances of an accident caused by a momentary lapse of attention decrease dramatically. The odds of going over the white lines or yellow lines on long drives with auto-pilot decreases dramatically.
Sure, Tesla is making no money. We all know this, but we all know that what Tesla is doing is what NEEDS to happen. They will eventually become profitable - I don't know when that will be, but it MUST be the future. Have you seen the smog in L.A. or New York? It's disgusting - even if it's only local.
