Tesla Motors by the numbers

Rarely noted is how much this profit is a function of government subsidy and coercion. So let's take apart Tesla by the numbers, if only to give our reader-taxpayers a better sense of what they've paid to make Tesla's owners rich.

I don't really want to read further, and it's only the second paragraph.

Agreed. I know it is a lot to ask that a journalist be impartial but they lost me after this paragraph.

It's an opinion piece.

I welcome a similar analysis of oil companies by the WSJ. And banks. And Wall Street generally.

I suspect I will die waiting for that one.

I was also uninterested very early in the article, and I tend to have a comparatively long attention span.
