You will just have to wait and see. Kind of like our last big internet debate about E85. I do think you are the one listening to the talking points of big auto and big oil.
People who don't know better wonder where all the money is going. Tesla has been developing and collecting patents and companies with patents (contrary to their idea of giving all their patents away). They build far more of their cars themselves than just about any other company, so they have been setting up things like a seat factory, etc. No one else does that. These have value way beyond what non-engineers can appreciate.
