If he really wants to cut costs, he only needs to fire 1.

I don't know how one man can think he can do the output of 20% of his engineers.
We aren't going to see another model Tesla after this are we?
BananaTrifleViolin@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Nope, a car company with no car design team won’t be making new models.
Tesla shows what’s wrong with capitalism - companies bloat on speculation driven in this case by a show man. Tesla is a house of cards - it squandered it’s first-move advantage, the competition are now building better EVs, and it’s self-drive technology is a lemon because Elon decided to remove all the essential sensors in his solution to reduce cost.
Meanwhile his competitors are getting licenses to self drive and Tesla have jackshit. Robo-taxis are coming but they won’t have the Tesla logo on them.

Reminder that 55billion is 10k per Tesla sold, ever.
Buffalox@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yes it’s an absolutely insane amount.
db2@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I’d call him a number of things but “hard core” is not among them.
TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.world 6 months ago
His commitment to pissing away his wealth is pretty hard core.

Hard core idiot?

He thinks himself hard, but at his core he is an idiot
Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Dude, that’s hard core!
garretble@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I believe it’s a play on him saying that those staying at twitter needed to be “extremely hardcore” to make all of the stupid changes he’s made over the last year and a half.
Delusional@lemmy.world 6 months ago
He’s a hard core pussy.
Fapper_McFapper@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Hey now, pussies are pretty fucking tough. They can stretch to allow for birth and then return to its normal shape and size. Whereas Elon is a fucking thin skinned snowflake incapable of handling the tiniest of criticisms.

Got to find the 50 Billion he has done nothing to deserve somehow.

“trustworthy test”
Ah, there’s the crux of it.

The one Tesla thing I consistently hear is well done and maintained is the Superchargers. I guess Elon is fixing that discrepancy.
simplejack@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Charging is literally the only reason why I would ever consider a Tesla over another EV. The non-Tesla networks are often significantly underpowered for fast-charging, or straight up broken. And not all of Tesla’s network is open to non-Tesla EVs and or non-Tesla NACS EVs. If you want full access to the largest, fastest, and most reliable network, you need a Tesla.
But I guess Musk now wants to put that at risk too.
Kimjongtooill@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Ford, Rivian, and I think GM all have had deals to use the Tesla network this year.
vladmech@lemmy.world 6 months ago
We had a 3 and even though Musk was already an asshole idiot, we ended up swapping it out for a Y instead of another EV because the network is leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else. If they screw this up + keep opening it up to other manufacturers (which they should, that’s a good thing) I don’t see anyone our next cars being a Tesla.
dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
It would free many of us. I’ve got 2 Teslas in my garage and nothing that uses gas anymore. Tesla made a decent EV / Tech, but the car itself is shitty and cheap. If there was another all electric car built by an established manufacturer with it’s own network I’d buy that in a heartbeat.
The only other thing that Tesla really nailed (and that I would miss) is uniform pricing with online order. I don’t want to go play the dealership middle salesman game ever again if I can help it.
dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
I would say there is a second thing: the uniform pricing and direct to customer sales model.
