But the chances of Tesla being forced to restructure into a 'normal' niche car company are increasingly low imo.
They have not produced any 'non-car' products yet. Autopilot upgrades are not a product.For the moment, they are *only* a niche car company.
FSD is jam tomorrow. That doesn't mean it won't arrive, but they are not selling FSD right now. No restructuring needed.

In August 2019 as Tesla continued to search for a viable solar strategy after logging its lowest-ever quarterly installations (second quarter 2019 plummeted to new lows of 29 megawatts, compared to the 2,013 megawatts residential leader Sunrun installed and SolarCity's once installed 253 megawatts in one quarter, back in 2015 before Tesla absorbed it), Tesla announced they would begin renting solar systems to customers in six states for $50 a month, in a plan to boost residential solar deployments.
So down to a little more than one tenth it's previous size, and a seventieth of the market leader?That'll be why I forgot about them

Some people taking the maintenance free idea a little too far, spotted in a Bristol Hospital carpark.
That is insane, and insanely stupid.gangzoom said:
Even am not that cheap, but the car is on cheapo tyres NanKang branded ones, £100 each, less than half the price of the OEM Latitude Sports.
They have a crazy tread wear rating, so should last longer too. 4.5k miles on them and haven't fallen off the road yet.
Not wanting to turn this into a tyre thread but more expensive tyres come into their own when you really need them as every test proves. I'd not even consider putting cheap tyres on an old banger for exactly that reason, let alone a 2.5 tonne EV used to ferry my kids around regularly. £75k EV and worrying about an extra £500 for tyres once every year or two?They have a crazy tread wear rating, so should last longer too. 4.5k miles on them and haven't fallen off the road yet

Good for you making money out of the growth, but the history of business is full of overhyped boom and bust, from Tulip Mania to the Dot Com boom and Cryptocurrencies
So, Tesla's current market value is about $270k per car sold, and VW's is about $9k...
The BBC don't quote the market value for Toyota, but a quick google shows it is currently just under $200bn, so not quite twice Teslas, with a Market value per car of about $22k
I do expect Tesla will be around for the long haul, but I'd be very surprised if the market values aren't a lot closer in 10-15 years time, on that per car sold basis.
