Of course, indeed. How many impossible feats do you expect Tesla -- Elon Musk -- to tackle on behalf of humankind? I can't imagine why you think Musk should fight for an industry he does not believe in, of course!
Everyone involved in the game is selfish; none of this has to do with altruistic goals.
There is a good chance that a bill enabling direct-to-consumer for all vehicle types would not pass.
Sure and I'm not suggesting that Tesla should pursue such a goal. My point was merely that Tesla has its own interests at heart, just like most businesses.
