But Nick, yes, 2 billion is chum change for most financiers, but those people don't get rich by financing black holes. And now that Tesla is begging, not asking for money, the terms will be very harsh. Tesla can't hide, cause the financial records are public, so everyone and their mother knows they are in trouble. These people are like sharks smelling blood, they don't even need to give Tesla any money yet, they can sit on the sideline watching Tesla get squeezed till almost the end before coming in.


Google burns nearly $4B on "Other Bets", which are random tech ideas/business that bring in on a fraction of that in revenue. They are money pits that Google "hopes" might succeed one day.

There are plenty of companies out there that have vast amounts of money to burn if they think they can make it work.

 

And the difference is Google is a tech company, Tesla is a car company pretending to be a tech company and wanted to be treated the same.

Plus, Google is wroth over 700 billion, Tesla is not. 

So then Google or some other tech giant may invest or buy them, or Toyota or any big auto company. Tesla's brand alone is worth billions.

Tesla isn't going anywhere. No one here cares about the company finances other than the people who seem to think they'll fail. Tesla will be selling cars for a long time, and whether current shareholders or bond holders lose money is irrelevant.
