It's extremely frustrating being a technology lover in Brazil.

I agree whith you that some non profitable companies can be more valuable than profitable ones. But my real point is that unlike amazon, Elon Musk companies arent serious. Look at his portfolio: colonize mars? we cant even do it on the moon yet! the hyperloop? the tecnology to do this kind of traveling possible does not exist! In the case of tesla the tecnology is there but its not optmized yet for the market, it can take decades even a century to the electric car price become comparable to the oil car. What im really trying to say is that elon musk main goal is to sell an ilusion, the real final product is a mere casuality if it hapens.

Elektrical Cars are relatively affordable and start to compete with Oil Cars atleast in the upper Class. Tesla and BMW i3 are a regular picture for me. In 1-2 decades oil cars will be replaced by Electric cars. I say that because I see first hand how the Automotive Industry in Germany is investing Billions. All my friends who studied electro engineering are working in R&D for Bosch Varta Mercedes Porsche. There is a market and it will hit everyone very soon.  Or else nobody would spend money for that. Porsche Mercedes Volkswagen BMW all of them will expand their investments in to this technology even more. I dont give a fuck about Musk and if he is a conman or not. But Tesla undoubtedly woke the german manufactures. EVs are here to stay and will come fast. 

At lest in the upper class, wich englobe 10% of the maket? a very small part i´d say. Tesla does not woke anything, they just have a bigger marketing machine. All the car companies are researching the electric fuel because there will be a market for electric cars and everybody want a piece of it. Tesla does not invent the concept of electric cars, the concept exist for decades, they just make the public believe they are pionieers.  I study electric engeneering in Brazil and this topic is a very popular talk whith my professors. Im sure that the germans manufactures are developing the tecnology because of their self interest not because tesla.
