    The only thing tesla ever had going for it was being first.

    They haven’t innovated and instead build increasingly worse cars.

    Do you enjoy receiving a brand new vehicle which then immediately needs to go to a garage to actually fit the panels correctly?

    Buy muski boys shitheaps

      Tesla wasn’t first but they were the only ones to really break through, finally, and make EVs viable. So many failed attempts by others up to that point. Getting past the fossil fuel mentality and industry pressures was never a given.

      But he’s throwing all of that lead in the trash.

        Sure, I don’t disagree. I should have said “first to make them viable”, like you have correctly stated

      I was into the Cybertruck until Elon dropped the $40k trim… I really wanted a basic truck that was viable as a daily driver.

        Watching musk over the years running his companies into the ground, I always assumed that trim would never materialise

          Well he bought Maxwell batteries for their dry coat process, but it isn’t scaling well

    1.5 billion in profit? How the hell does that justify 54 Billion in payment, how is the company profitable?

    If the quality and customer service were there and musk was no longer there, I would very gladly buy one.

      Elon already fired 10%+ of all employees, including the entirety of the Supercharger team.

      I don’t expect much quality or customer service moving forward.

      Same. I’d love a model S if it was what it seemed and that raving douche wouldn’t profit.

        I mean I would love to get a used model 3 for like 20k if it wasn’t for that fascist fucking pig.

          I am worried about the long term viability of Teslas. Given their computers and software, I fear they will have the lifespan more akin to cellphones than to traditional vehicles.

            That is my main concern with all EVs. I would also like just like a standard car but with an electric motor and none of the infotainment bullshit. I don’t need it to connect to anything except the road and the charging stations.

              Like how much money could it save by dropping all that BS? Gimme a couple motors, a fat battery, a way to connect my phone, electric windows and locks, physical controls, manual fucking doors, and maybe a couple green paint options FFS, and I’m good.

    The brand is dead to me, until Musk is pushed out or divests.

    Rivian has none of their baggage.

      They also don’t have any affordable vehicles, and are also a shitty company.

      Tesla offers a lot of value for money in the EV space. Nobody else comes close. Unfortunately that means dealing with Musk, and I’ll be waiting a few years to buy the wife an EV, maybe everyone else will catch up.

    I’m interested when the model 2 hits… Though I wish we’d relax tariffs on Chinese vehicles… Maybe a tiered system where vehicles under 20k get no tariffs, then it goes up from there
