There is a potential workaround if it makes you feel better.

Get the thing in loan twice: that way you don't need any particular of the two.

Somewhat unfortunately, that latter statement is just as troublesome and can translate as "I am using you, x, as a way to make y feel jealous."

Which works if you're not looking for a wife!

In the context of Tesla, if the gigafactory is not the endgame.

I was thinking about that last bit earlier. What if gigafactory has spawned enough competition to make further aggressive development less necessary? Or what if there are tax breaks to be found in other states for a new plant (possibly with less of a focus on batteries)?

There are a lot of possibilities here, since the demand drivers won't appear for another year or so.
