Because all you have to do is what MSM on TV to hear about how amazing Tesla is I naturally focus on the other opinions out there to get an even perspective.
New news article here is about as gloomy on Tesla as you could ask for, enjoy.
The article says it's quite possible Tesla lost $840 million in this most recent quarter, which would be ending this weekend.
Massive Losses & Tens of Billions Of Dollars In Debt Means Tesla Is A Zero

The article also links to the fascinating article on how China is now moving to Hydrogen, they are pulling all subsidies away from lithium battery based vehicles and only going to subsidize Hydrogen.
In Australia, there is constant news of how some new metals mine needs to create a mild level radioactive sludge lake, or how a gold mine needs a cyanide dam, or how a lead, copper, nickel processing plant requires a regular toxic sludge lake...
Metals mining/processing is very dirty, processing nickel at around 100 tonnes of co2 per tonne of nickel is common, metals are what these batteries are made of, its an example of the madness of the world for these processed finished result vehicles go to the rest of the world are considered clean/zero emissions.
Telsa is so worried about lack of supply for its battery metals it has openly gone to the press about it, which is remarkable for a company that has a lot of never to be profitable gimmick companies just to look green like Solar City/power-walls etc.

So it makes sense that China is now looking at just processing natural gas into Hydrogen, as it's technically cleaner because you don't have toxic metal processing mines left over to make your car.
China’s electric vehicle industry hit hard by policy shift as Beijing turns toward hydrogen fuel

A lithium battery has several drawbacks when compared with a hydrogen fuel cell, which uses hydrogen gas as power.
Lithium batteries contain heavy metals such as nickel, cobalt, and manganese, and the mining process to extract such metals can cause pollution to nearby water sources. Meanwhile, processing of copper, lithium, and other metals create toxic waste that, if not treated and recycled properly, can cause serious environmental problems.
