@John Hanna In reply to John Hanna. Elon ran a literal sweat shop where any spending that wasn't leading to profitability in the shortest time frame was not an option. He had a singular focus to build one single EV model that people wanted in large quantities to scale up to profitability as fast as possible. Anything that didn't lead Tesla to a positive EPS as fast as possible was thrown out the window.

I suggest those NIO shareholders look again at a full post-IPO stocK chart for both NIO and TSLA.
