Or launch a satellite network to facilitate wireless energy transfer from the the sun side of earth or directly from the sun to the dark side, and send wireless energy to mars transport ships and/or to mars base station.
That means they are not spending enough on CapEx and R&D

That is weird. Especially since you'd expect US to be down more in Q1 than many other countries.
My Q2 numbers are different: 8750 US + 4628 EU = 13,378 combined.

Huh? A Tesla can be a net emissions win after just ~10,000 miles compared to an average MPG car, let alone compared to an old "clunker", and then we haven't even included the health care costs of gascar emissions which are higher than $10,000 per decade ...
Plus if the steel in the clunker is recycled, which is the typical case, then much of the carbon cost of the steelmaking is recovered - so the "decades of residual lifetime" is "decades of carcinogenic emissions and CO2 emissions".
I.e. the political bias in your statement is pretty incredible, from a "numbers guy".

Interesting developments in the China trade war:
If the transcripts of this call verify this leak then Trump promised to not be critical of any human rights violations in Hong Kong, in a quid pro quo to get a trade deal. Oh, and in exchange he wanted Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren "investigated" by the Chinese.
I.e. Trump genuinely wants a China trade deal, and any holdups in negotiations depend on whether the Chinese are willing to "investigate" his political rivals.
"This is not a quid pro quo:"
Trump Brought Up Biden, Warren In A Call With Chinese President: Report | HuffPost
'According to CNN’s report on the June 18 call, Trump brought up the “political prospects” of Biden and Warren, the latter of who had recently started rising in the polls. In that same call, he promised not to speak out on the ongoing Hong Kong protests as China and the U.S. negotiate a trade deal.'

Average sale price in USA & Europe is $35k+, so......a lot? (Tens of millions)
now consider EVs often get a subsidy/rebates, reduce TCO, and that Tesla is making their entry level cars cheaper each year.

More than 20 million passenger cars are sold for $40,000+ each year - so the global market addressable by the Model 3+Y combo is somewhere between "huge" and "fricking huge".
But it gets even better: $38,990 isn't a fixed lower price, for example in China their cost of goods is at least 20% lower, according to tear-down specialist Sandy Munro, and with scale costs will come down even more - Tesla is still at a more than an order of magnitude lower volume than VW or Toyota.
So it's entirely possible for Tesla to eventually break the $30,000 price barrier with 20% gross margins, in 2-3 years, with the Model 3 platform alone.

Also, people have shown an eagerness to spend more on an EV than they have ever spent on a car previously, probably because they don't have to buy gas and oil, get smog checks, longer service intervals, higher resale value, etc.
"Tesla Silo Foundation". "Core, Shell and MEP". "Solar Roof Test Structure".... Why have I got building up a base on Command & Conquer in my head? Also, "Underground Fire Supply" sounds dangerous.

Ha we're not in America with your buckets of poison, but I do typically drink 2-3L of water per day, so year, the urge can get strong.
It goes like this "Wifey, kids, our first scheduled Supercharger stop is in 90 minutes, but we're passing one in 45 minutes, so if anyone needs a pee we can stop if necessary and take on some juice at the same time".
We always stop, always!
In any case, it's really nice to stop frequency, get out the car and walk around a bit, it's a total change of approach from the old days and much nicer IMO.
If I'm driving alone I tend to switch off the ventilation system completely, TBH it makes too much noise and annoys me.
