Nissan's latest desperate gamble-see if Tesla will buy the company
Briefly

Nissan is facing significant struggles, including an outdated product lineup, ongoing losses, and potential factory closures. The Japanese government is actively exploring partnerships to save the struggling automaker, initially hoping for a merger with Honda that ultimately fell through. Former Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga is proposing Tesla as a potential investor; however, experts are skeptical about this merger due to Tesla's own challenges. Tesla's recent financial performance has also been disappointing, raising doubts about its ability to rescue Nissan effectively.
Senior politicians in Japan are not going to let Nissan die easily. The automaker has been struggling for some time now, with an outdated product portfolio, ongoing quarterly losses, and soon, the closure of factories and thousands of layoffs.
Former Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga is among a group trying to get Tesla to invest in Nissan instead. However, such a merger seems extremely far from likely.
