Tesla shares have dropped dramatically since peaking in December, and Tuesday's decline pushed the company's market cap below $1 trillion.

KEY POINTS

  • Tesla shares sank 8% on Tuesday and have now lost most of their gains that followed Donald Trump’s election victory in November.
  • The stock has plunged 25% this year, while the Nasdaq is down just 1.5%.
  • Reuters reported on Monday that the company’s long-awaited upgrade of its partially automated driving system in China left owners unimpressed.

    I saw that headline, but then I saw this one:

    GSA to shut down federal EV chargers nationwide

    Isn’t it going to be difficult to operate EV armored cars without chargers access to government chargers, as in, at government locations? Are these new armored EVs supposed to charge at a Tesla Supercharger in a Walmart parking lot?

      It’s almost as if the point isn’t to produce anything useful, but to move money from the tax payers to the ruling class.

      Inefficiency and incompetency is big money. They can fuck it all up now, and half ass fixing it later, for a premium too!
