Bad takesHot damn Tesla is getting destroyed. Kind of a hard position to convince consumers to buy an EV or solar panels from a company whose CEO is on a quixotic journey to support politicians who are diametrically opposed to reducing carbon emissions (let’s be honest - his ambitious are more aligned with dereg, tax abatements, union busting, and reducing his tax liability). An impossible needle to thread.
lavahot@badtakes nor even that, but Tesla itself is in trouble. Fit and finish has suffered for years, and autopilot has fewer active features than ever. After they bought Solar City, they went from 33% of all installations nationwide to just 2%. The FSD, cybertruck, and solar roof tiles have *still* not materialized. Elon's just been doing con games and getting cheered on for it. Tesla was waaaaaaaaayyyyy overvalued, and people are only now seeing it because Elon's vinear has crumbled into memes and insecurity.
@lavahot well yeah that’s for sure the other side of the coin. To make matters worse, now the market for EVs is saturated with competition that have the infrastructure to produce quality electric cars
