I recently asked a friend with an EV if range anxiety is still an issue. His response is that solvency anxiety is a bigger issue. He raised Fisker and Lucid as two examples of companies that might expire before your car does.

Tesla now gives similar vibes.

Ars Technica · Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehiclesTesla is also getting rid of its public policy team, despite robotaxi ambitions.

The issue with Tesla is less that the company runs out of money but instead the ownership experience degrades far worse than you signed up for. Concrete examples that owners are already experiencing are resale values, repair costs and insurance prices being worse than expected.

The company disinvesting in its charging network and new cars is a sign things will get worse not better.
