I understand your point, however buying a car is making a bet on the viability of the company and their ongoing operations, which includes availability of parts, service and ongoing investment in their software/hardware platforms.
Many had the same concerns about Amazon in the first decade, where they were focused on building infrastructure and scale, which required massive investments and no sign of profitability for years. However, the Amazon capital investment strategy/structure seemed well thought out and there was a level of transparency. With Elon, he is a visionary, but has the scale of the company and his other ventures outgrown his financial management capabilities? When there is significant turnover in the financial ranks the the CEO has issues with the SEC, it does require some pause.
I will likely buy the car, but buying it is a bet that the company will be viable and thriving for years to come -- which is why I posed the question to others to get additional views.
I think this is all completely irrelevant. If Tesla goes bankrupt either they will shed debt, restructure, and continue on, or shed debt, get bought out, and continue on. All this stuff about them ceasing to exist isn't happening.
Worst thing that'll ever happen to us is we may have to pay for the in car LTE, streaming service, or the OTA updates under new overlords.
