  I don’t mean to be a pessimist, but Tesla doesn’t care about car sales. Their chief moneymaker is selling Tesla tokens to Wall Street, which do not correlate with Tesla’s company performance in any meaningful way.

    I’m still happy to see his sales numbers dwindling. If he loses the consumer market, it will still be a big loss regardless what idiocy Wall Street gets up to.

      Yes. We need to keep in mind that the real battle being fought here is market dominance.

      Western companies and governments want to dominate so they can screw everyone else over harder than China would.

  If you buy a Tesla post Nazi Musk, you are a Nazi supporter.

    I don’t understand this hate just because musk came out as a Nazi.

    The cars were awful even before all of this, you should have already not been buying them. To get them repaired you have to take them to an authorised dealer which is basically just them, and they will charge you on obscene amount of money to replace the door handles or something, add onto that poor quality control and a prevalence to put everything behind a paywall and you’ve got a terrible value product on your hands.

      Consumers are sheep whether they’re on the left or right.

      People on the left hate Tesla and Musk because of Musk’s politics instead of him being a conmen colluding to keep EV prices high.

      Meh, not entirely true though. Anything related to “regular” car parts like brakes, suspension etc. can be fixed by any regular mechanic. As for things like handles, you can actually also just order the part from them and have any mechanic change itif you can’t/won’t do it yourself.

      Yes there are things you unfortunately would need them for, but most of the things that tend to break or wear out are regular car parts anyone can fix.

  It’s almost impressive how tesla has managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
