That's misleading. 98% aren't "successes". 98% of the funds haven't been written off. That's relatively easy to do so when a large bulk of your loans are invested into large Fortune 500 companies with billions in assets.

So in this case, Tesla is one of the many many successes. The others you don't hear about because they're not suddenly disrupting consumer-facing businesses like car companies.
