Not exactly correct, the automotive supplier chain (tiers 1/2&beyond)
love Tesla and want them to crush it. Tesla bust onto the scene with a "whatever it costs, just make it happen" mentality that hasn't been seen in the industry for well over a generation (probably longer). There are countless suppliers that would be profitless if not for the premiums Tesla pays (and they do pay so far).
The reach of Tesla into the system is huge, they refuse to play by the established rules and much of that is awesome...the industry needed it. That being said, some of the industry rules aren't BS or contrived and trying to ignore those as well is what's causing problems.
