I know at least one person that's decided not to buy a Tesla simply because their future is so murky and is not sure if they will be around for repairs. That's a problem they need to tackle now before it spirals out of control.
Also, it seems to me that Tesla should work with one of the big three automakers on manufacturing. Tesla has spent a lot of resources reinventing car manufacturing and yet they can't produce a vehicle that meets their needs. They need to focus on the high tech aspects and leave the mundane manufacturing to experts.
At the very least, Musk should trust his manufacturing experts on how to produce a car rather than try to make every decision by himself. He's a great marketer and should focus on that role and leave the rest to the experts.
Too bad they can't lower the cost of batteries enough. If they did that, they could lower the price of the car to a point where it would be a no brainer to buy one.
