- Lobbyists and bribes to repeal the corrupt Elon Musk protectionism
- PR and marketing to increase brand trust and awareness
- Homologation (country-specific changes/features) to meet all 50 states and federal standards
- Crash testing
- Sales/fulfillment centers
- Service centers*
- Parts distribution network*
* Maybe combined with previous item
These would be a lot of expensive things to invest in without a giant, certain upside.
