Something is pushing this "Tesla loses money" angle hard. Since I bought mine, I've discovered that a lot of people who know very little about the company "know" that they make a loss on every car sold.

Regarding subsidies, the "good" news there is that at least in the US, there isn't much in the way of uncertainty, because the US federal subsidy starts to drop off at 200,000 units per manufacturer and is unlikely to be expanded. Given how quickly they're moving, they'll probably hit that within the next few years and one way or another they'll have to learn to do without. But at least they won't be waiting for politicians to drop the knife on them.
