Well didn't GM and others wipe out the shareholders and then do a new IPO?  Why wouldn't Tesla be able to do that?  Otherwise why couldn't GM or some other manufacturer buy Tesla's assets dirt cheap.  The cars have way too much of a customer base for people to just let the factory shut down.  Obviously the point of chapter 11 is to allow the factory to keep running while all that is sorted out.

Because baby boomers aren't going to move the parts to keep Tesla around like they would for their pet GM? 
  
 I'm honestly postulating, not stating.
