Weren’t people estimating a 2007 end for Tesla bc they haven’t been working on new models? They put their efforts into the meme “truck” instead of the roadster. They have been slashing prices yet demand for EVs, especially theirs has been dropping. All the while, their main spokesman has been a toxic deterrent. Meanwhile, these douchelords think The ceo should get a $56B payout?

There were no efforts put into the “meme “truck”” in 2007, it wasn’t even speculated on being made yet. There were speculations back in 2007 that Tesla might not make it, because they had financial problems. But those speculations have zero relevance today.

I don’t know exactly what you’re asking, sorry. Could you clarify?

Did you mean 2017 or 2027? I don’t think Tesla existed back in 2007.

I’d guess 2027, since all the stuff mentioned are things that are culminating more recently.
That said, the company’s best long term asset is probably the charging network. Especially since other manufacturers are adopting their plug. But that’s boring, and Musk isn’t a guy who cares about the boring stuff. He’s exactly the type to ignore the company’s best strategic direction just because he can’t make grandiose claims on Xhitter about it.

The roadster was the only Tesla I liked, and it’s no coincidence that it was pre-Elon.

It’s based on a lotus design, so yeah it’s good some great parentage.

The original roadster is just a lotus Elise with a terrible DIY EV mod thrown in to it.
