Tesla was stripping its R&D even before this pandemic though. They've cut R&D YoY from 2018 to 2019 which is basically unthinkable as a growth company.

I think R&D budget are a bit BS. The old companies still spend huge amounts on improving their ICE technology. Tesla is doing innovative stuff in production vehicles. For every other company half the tech in a Cybertruck would be R&D for most companies. Tesla just sees it as product development.
