If I want the experience of a vehicle falling apart I can buy a beater for $500

Because they make lifestyle products, not good EVs.

Elon said investor are mistaken. It’s not an ev company. Tesla is an AI company.

No way it can be an AI company, clearly, because if it was an AI company that would mean Musk is intentionally diverting necessary resources and talent from Tesla’s core business to build xAI. Shareholders would hate that!

Shareholders hated that so much they just voted to give Elon Musk $50 Billion in shares.

Don’t you love the idea of Tesla using the car you own to do cloud computing without paying you?

Jeeps and 4runners are life style products. A tesla is about as much life style as an Apple laptop.

I would never buy a Tesla while they have such an erratic, irresponsible CEO.

At this rate, you might not buy a Tesla ever since the board seems just as erratic and irresponsible giving him such a large bonus. Maybe 5 years before we get the YouTube analysis videos of how it was all a Ponzi scheme.

Ioniq 5 is too good anyway.

I’m more of a PHEV guy. So Prius Prime for me.

Outside of Musk being a trashcan human, the one time I was in a Tesla I was astounded at the low quality of the car.

Turns out when you come out of the closet as a complete and total right wing asshat, the people that would have bought your shit will give it a hard pass. Then, the people that like your asshatness, don’t like your product and shit on it every chance they get. He found out.

No no. I mean yes. But no. You’ve commented on the wrong story.

That’s certainly happening more directly in this walkback / apology tour where Elon is asking for advertising money now on Twitter.

I think the comment is fully applicable to both articles. Which is just funny. Imagine not understanding your businesses enough that you alienate your target market in 2 very different industries for the same reason, being a miserable right wing nutjob.
