>not even accounting for tax-money helping people to buy it cheaper

Not accounting for the investors subsidizing it, either!

Is the Model 3 sold at a loss? I'm pretty sure the Model S was, but haven't heard anything definitive about the 3. Except for Elon Musk's comments, which I don't trust for a second.

It doesn't matter for the Volt. Since it has a range extender, there's no real need for fast charging. Just charging it every night from a 120V outlet will eliminate most gas usage for most people. If you run out of charge, it's an annoyance rather than a disaster.

I can't speak to the Bolt since I've never seen one.

The article is not stupid at all. The author never claimed that "there may not be enough demand for the model 3." You're putting those words in her mouth. What she said is that people are rapidly asking for refunds, that Tesla's manufacturing is in trouble, and that this is a serious cause of concern for investors. All of those things are indisputable facts that anyone interested in electric cars would want to hear.

And you can't claim that Tesla being unable to meet demand means demand is high. Supply is appallingly low, so even a low demand could result in the backlog of orders we see. The fact that demand exceeds supply doesn't imply that the demand is high enough to keep the company afloat.
