To offer some counter balance how long did it take Tesla to turn in a profit from its first days of building passenger car EV's...and that was during a period of virtually no competition, particularly from the Chinese ...?
Edit, found my answer...18 years to make a profit and even today Tesla earns billions from other auto makers through emissions credits. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/27/b...-earnings.html |

I find it funny, the guy who is anti-Vax and anti-Woke Liberal sells most of his cars to the very people he hates. I couldn't imagine anyone wanting to start a car company let alone a totally new technology car company. FORD's going to do it tough.

He was on the Joe Rogan podcast a few months back. A bit of a weirdo. |

I think you've got to be a bit unorthodox to be on that level, normal people aren't usually that successful
