Well, they are more of a technology company than just a car company like how Samsung is more than an electronics company vs Apple.
BUT, the caveat is that Tesla has many fingers in luxury items, so solar will take a hit, luxury cars will take a hit and investing in grid storage will take a hit, but it is also possible they are positioned better because of it. Often times the ones who get hit the hardest are the lower class workers, as a percentage of their incomes and their ability to recover as fast or at all, so maybe luxury sales won't take as large a hit. Who knows?

The collapse of the labor, housing, and stock markets beginning in 2007 created unprecedented challenges for American families. This study examines disparities in wealth holdings leading up to the Great Recession and during the first years of the recovery. All socioeconomic groups experienced declines in wealth following the recession, with higher wealth families experiencing larger absolute declines. In percentage terms, however, the declines were greater for less-advantaged groups as measured by minority status, education, and pre-recession income and wealth, leading to a substantial rise in wealth inequality in just a few years. Despite large changes in wealth, longitudinal analyses demonstrate little change in mobility in the ranking of particular families in the wealth distribution. Between 2007 and 2011, one fourth of American families lost at least 75 percent of their wealth, and more than half of all families lost at least 25 percent of their wealth. Multivariate longitudinal analyses document that these large relative losses were disproportionally concentrated among lower income, less educated, and minority households.
