It's debatable how close to bankruptcy Tesla is - don't start, we'll never agree! - but assuming it was:
- What would you think if Tesla got bought out to ensure it's continued existence?
- Would it matter who bought them for you to still buy a Model 3?
- If only Daimler, Alibaba or Petro China would save the company, would that matter? I mean, if the alternative would be they folded and your precious Model S or X was an orphan, or you would never ever receive a Model 3 (and forfeit your $1,000!), would you really be against a legacy / "foreign" company owning Tesla?
- Would you still want to buy a Tesla if Petro China owned them? or switch (with gritted teeth) to a Bolt?
- If they kept Elon onboard (assuming he'd stay)? If they didn't?
