Tesla is leading the world in advances of using solar to power cars, the govt should be pumping ten times that amount to them.

I don't think that their profit margin has anything to do with what he was saying.
I too, think Tesla is kicking ass. Can't figure out why they can do it, but Detroit can't build a good electric car.
Anyway...I think the point is...they got a huge chunk of money from the gov.t but didn't DO anything. With all that money given to them we (the taxpayers) should be seeing some RESULTS.
They already had the technology and the cars. That money should have built them a newer factory with more efficient production which SHOULD have put more Tesla's out on the road and made them a helluva lot cheaper.
My guess is that money just disappeared down a rabbit hole like so much federal money seems to.
