but TBF, GM basically pulled the plug on the Volt once they reached the limit on the federal subsidy, they had no real commitment. Then they had to scramble to get back in the game once Ford and others started looking like they were going to move past them. Telsa lives and dies by EV, for good or bad they were/are committed. They may may failed wrt many of the things Musk personally hyped, but they have put more EVs on the road than anyone else. That part is real regardless of whatever Musk's public pronouncements have been about.
My personal guess is that Tesla will survive even once all the other multi-nationals have their product on the market, but Musk is going to be a much poorer rich man when Tesla's stock settles back to the kind of ratio where all other auto company's stocks are.
