    Yeah, genius thought that creating CyberTruk and turn full Nazi will expand his consumer base.

    Sucks for real founders of Tesla, but hey, at least you helped bootstrapping switch to EVs.

      turn full Nazi

      He’s a Nazi? Like, literally? What’s the latest?

      Edit: we’re discussing the down votes for this comment below. I’m baffled, because I’m merely asking for info. Please, if you want to down vote, reconsider, and consider replying to me why instead. 🙂 I don’t care about the votes, I’m just curious why a simple request could be so unpopular. Thank you.

        He lets Nazis use his platform and calls it “freedom of speech”, although this exact freedom is limited by the wellbeing of others. And promoting Nazis is harmful to not only minorities, but the society in my opinion, as they strive to split the society with populist arguments.

    Tesla will probably be a case study one day in how to get the lead in a market that is hard to break into and somehow squander it.

      Are we all pretending that the investment in Tesla was organic and for the company?

      You guys have seen the man with creepy world leaders. Multiple countries investing in and pumping Tesla stock to get favors from Elon is PRETTY BLATANTLY what’s going on.

    Tesla’s sales in the second quarter of 2024 fell to 49.7 percent of all US EV sales.

    Unless the other 50.3% were of a single company, which i highly doubt, i fail to grasp how Tesla lost market dominance.

    Elon Musk Will Reinstate Neo-Nazi on Twitter https://lamag.com/internet/elon-musk-will-reinstate-neo-nazi-on-twitter

    Elon Musk expresses support for antisemitic post on X, calling it “the actual truth” https://www.cbsnews.com/news/elon-musk-antisemitic-comments-x-post-actual-truth/

    Can’t send links to actual tweets as the site is terrible now and won’t let me enter it without an account. The second link is notable for promoting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, like the Great Replacement.

    That’s crazy they had above 50%, though I guess they were the only EV-only company in North America (I believe?).

    My buddy at work just bought one and I am not impressed or at least it doesn’t feel the same as the first time I sat in one about 5 years ago.

    It looks cheap on the inside I noticed paneling off. The only thing I truly love about it is how quiet it is when he is driving. It is insanely peaceful and the car does look clean just cheap. It’s unfortunate because they are good looking cars in the outside but damn they just aren’t impressive when you are in one.

    I wouldn’t tell him that he loves it and if he loves it then he loves it.

      Subjective i know: on the outside it’s just the model S that can compete to the same design level you get with that kind of money.

      BMW at the same price range are better designed for example

      Audi? Same
