The bubble is bursting.
Competition caught up with Tesla’s lead while Elon was too busy with his many side projects while somehow also micro-managing the company to death (e.g. Cybertruck).
He should have focused on scaling up manufacturing and driving the price per car down. But no, he had to chase the self-driving pipedream, launch a ridiculous pickup truck, and wreck the “genius” person he had built to replace with an alt-right one.

Pretty much this. Elon was never interested in what he SHOULD HAVE BEEN: making an inexpensive electric vehicle that’s widely available. Tesla had the tech to do so, but they were being driven to make insane decisions like moving the gearshift to a touchscreen (gee, I love taking my eyes off the road to shift gears), or making “futuristic” doors that actually cannot physically open from the inside (whoops, guess those just can’t be recalled since DOT has literally no teeth).

Two words: Elon Musk.

the cancellation of the model 2 for the cybertruck may have been the worst possible decision tesla went through maybe.

Not as bad as choosing not to use lidar for their automated driving, but pretty close.
_sideffect@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Well, to remove LiDAR, as it was in place at first

That will never stop being hilarious to me lol

But we don’t need LIDAR! Humans don’t have lidar, and they can drive! All you need to do is replicate millions of years of evolution in a few years and you’re done!

TIL, what a joke. Based on a quick search it was merely cost cutting, they are idiots
