I drove so many electric cars this year. A lot of them as good as or better than Teslas.

Elon Musk’s redpilling is happening at the worst time for Tesla.

China production, potential recession and lots of great competition.

@kairyssdal Without pretending it’s deliberate - Musk obviously has impulse control issues causing him to make poor business decisions - there is an upside to this. Conservatives currently don’t buy EVs: if they can proudly drive a Musk-mobile, that is a win for the environment. Tesla could end up with an unassailable niche market as the EV for the right.

@kairyssdal @pilazer I am going to be very curious to see whether truck buyers consider a metal doorstop to be “a truck.”
