No one takes a company public for fun. They do it for funds. Especially for something like a car company that requires a lot of initial investment to get going. They can't start making money right away like a SaaS company might.

Not wanting to take a company public reminds me of the story of one of Schwarzenegger's critics.

"I never want to you look like you."

"Don't worry, you never will."
