  1. We should never want any company to go bankrupt, as it just means less choice and less innovation. We should remember that Tesla isn't our friend and they will screw us over if there is less choice as that is the capitalist way. What we really want is the other car companies to wake up and change and that will happen as EV's becomes more mainstream. But in any case, I'm old enough and wise enough to not pine over a company like Tesla because they seemingly are doing the right thing now, over for us to screw us over in the long run if there is less competition in the market. In any case, with the kind of pressure being put on governments to change, it's going to put a lot of pressure on the car industry to change as I suspect most governments won't allow them to fail, after all, the German government main reason for wanting a Tesla plant in Germany was to put a lot more pressure on the German car industry to change by having a big rival in its backyard, basically, it's a message from the German government to the German car industry to change because the industry is changing regardless of if they want to or not. Truth be told, we need the rest of the car industry to change Tesla isn't big enough to satisfy all the car market and nor would we want that and if if they tried, it would take forever to do, all Tesla needs to do is light the match under the arse of the rest of the car industry and with a little government help to really get things moving much faster than they are now on EV's and battery tech and renewable tech for that matter but that's likely going to get a lot more investment over the next decade anyway with how the energy market is.
