I drive a Tesla MX. If Tesla folds and my car gets destroyed I’m tempted to get the Jaguar iPace - it’s the only other “skateboard” BEV currently available. I don’t understand why all the other BEVs go for the “batteries in the trunk”-design when the skateboard model is clearly far superior.

You have to redesign the whole car to make room for underfloor batteries. EVs based on existing platforms have to work within the platform's constraints.

The Chevy Bolt is a clean-sheet design and is also a "skateboard".

> If Tesla folds, how much will they be able to refund to customers ? I guess it's probably written on the deposit contract.

If it's a bankruptcy (and why would they told before that point?), whatever he deposit contract or general principles of law suggest for a going concern would be the upper limit of refunds, but the actual value would be dependent on what assets were left and what other claims were competing.
