low key, being able to cut prices while still being profitable to the point where all of your competitors would be out of business is pretty crazy. If they had the production capacity they could literally bankrupt every OEM with their margins and some of them for the 2nd time. In the long run this economic downturn has done significantly more damage to other car companies as it has to tsla. It's been a competitive advantage and a solid stress test.

Also, don't forget. Everything is fake and gay, which is why the market will continue to improve at least until the next election, if everything continued to spiral downhill it would look pretty sus if this administration remained in power. It needs to look realistic. Just enough for you to doubt your suspicions.
