@mtsw shot

@apearlma @mtsw Isn't one issue that they absolutely can't scale to demand, and quality seem to suffer severely from trying to?

@tshirtman @mtsw they're giving bigger discounts according to the WSJ as of today. Scaling to demand doesn't seem to be as large a problem any longer...

@apearlma @tshirtman probably a bad sign that tesla is heavily discounting at the same time Ford and Hyundai can't ship enough EVs and are charging enormous markups on the few they can make!

@apearlma @tshirtman almost like they're a car company selling models that are all half a decade to a decade old and having trouble competing with fresher models from competitors!

@tshirtman @mtsw not to mention telling their core group of customers that they might be embarrassed to be seen driving one of their cars while trying to appeal to another group who doesn't really believe they're necessary.

@apearlma @mtsw i mean, if that gets coal-car people to get an EV, maybe twitter is a small price to pay for it (although i doubt there are so many of these), others indeed have the choice of other and often better brands/models, or letting go of cars entirely if that's a possibility for them.
