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
Yeah it’s a real mystery
1.5 billion in profit? How the hell does that justify 54 Billion in payment, how is the company profitable?
I hate Musk but it was reportedly structured around share price targets
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/elon-musk-pay-package-vote-cbs-news-explains/
"The pay deal is structured to deliver several rounds of stock options that will allow Musk to buy about 304 million shares of Tesla stock. Musk is able to receive each round of options after the company hits certain milestones — such as when Tesla reached a market value of $100 billion, and then at every $50 billion mark beyond that. (Currently, Tesla's market cap is about $580 billion.)"
Never forget he littered space with a Tesla roadster:
“Researchers had already looked into the chances of the car impacting Earth some day, and calculated the odds at just 6% within a million years. The team also worked out that the Roadster will make a close(ish) encounter with Earth in 2091 when it will come within a couple hundred thousand miles (a few hundred thousand kilometers) of the planet where it was made.”
What a fucking asshole.
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.
TSLA was always a bubble
Good thing they gave the man child that bonus.
Seems almost like the board didn't have the best interests of the company in mind.
good thing they pay their ceo 30x that.
The brand is dead to me, until Musk is pushed out or divests.
Rivian has none of their baggage.
Just as anti-union.
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.
Can't wait to exchange my MY for an R3X
Good, fuck that guy.
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
Welp...I didn't do my research... he's a dick but I want to be correct in my dislike
