Reading Tesla workers shared images from car cameras, including “scenes of intimacy” was enough to put me off Tesla. The build quality being garbage and Musk also being a garbage human being make the company just a complete waste of space.
It’s funny how that wasn’t really a problem until they found that bond underwater car in a garage recorded by a tesla and it belonged to nazi musk.
Destroys them all because unprofitable to sell, whines about major loss, demands government bailout.
Who wants to buy a vehicle that funds the fourth Reich?
The portion of my family that voted for it.
The same portion that doesn’t want an EV at all.
I think there was that brief period of interest when Trump turned the White House driveway into a car dealership ad for Elon. But yeah, you’re right. They’re all gas-fueled motorheads.
This is what I see as well. The pro-musk US group hates EVs. The pro-EV US group hates Elon. Then there’s the other 60% of the country that doesn’t have a strong enough opinion to post about it online. I am surrounded by new Teslas despite being a in very blue city metro. It’s obvious because the 3/Y got a facelift during the height of the musk/trump romance
Our next goal for them: 100.000 evs unsold.
Hold the line
Thats after they got spacex to buy a large number of them.
How did that happen? When I worked at the Fremont plant, we were only putting together vehicles that had already been sold. Did they swap from lean manufacturing to the normal, wasteful “just keep making shit perpetually” model? 🤔
They are cashing in production tax incentives and cooking the books. GM did the same thing 2008 before it all collapsed.
Elon was hoping everyone would just forget his antics.
He’s trying to wrap it all under SpaceX and walk away with a bag when it goes public.
GM did the same thing 2008 before it all collapsed.
Along with financial chicanery, the only part of GM that was profitable was GMAC. Their shitty cars are loss-leaders for a predatory finance operation.
Tesla in Canada has parking lots full of cars they registered to grab and incentive, then the CDN government told them to fuck off. Meanwhile, the cars just sit and rot. Tesla is trying to sue, but they don’t stand a chance.
Tesla is already half what it was in 2024. it will be dead as a car company by end of 2027, about the time multiple internet satellites will have been launched to kill starlink.
I would rather walk than buy a tesla
I would rather crawl over broken glass than give money to Nazi Musk for one of his Swasticars
From what Elon says to shareholders, Tesla is going to pivot to becoming a humanoid robot production company anyway, the cars are just a sideline. They axed two models when they announced that.

Don’t forget when they were a roofing company, too.
It seems like there’s a market for a company that will buy Teslas ultra cheap, modifies them heavily, then rebadges them like Alpine does for Renault, AMG does / did for Mercedes, Abarth for Fiat, etc.
These days those are all subsidiaries of the main brand, and even before that they had a cooperative relationship with the main brand. But, I can imagine a setup where the main brand doesn’t support or approve of what the modifier company does.
I suggest the rebadged name should be Antifa.
Even better, Tesla and all other Musk businesses should be forced into bankruptcy.
Shouldn’t a rebadged Tesla be an Edison?
Already taken.
Musk is much more of an Edison than a Tesla. If he’d been honest he would have named his cars Edison. Then, the cool rebadge could have been Tesla. But, even he was smart enough to realize what an asshole Edison was, even if he didn’t recognize the Edison in himself.
Musk didn’t name Tesla, did he? I’m pretty sure he bought it, like he buys every company. He’s not a good idea guy.
Considering that they use DC internally Tesla was never a good name.
Isn’t that like 50k x 20k$ (rough costs estimate) = 1B$ of slowly realizing losses?
Most car dealers have months of inventory, Tesla typically has a couple weeks or less. In the grand scheme of things compared to other automakers this is actually tiny, and they are usually on the bottom of the list of OEM inventory.
For Tesla though, this is higher than usual, and unless most of them are in transit to customers, indicative of an issue.
Edit: Just for reference.

Its not very much, Chrysler had over a million vehicles in stock 18 months ago.
Noe I am curious how much quicker batteries degrade being idle than ICE engines.
If the price drops enough I would get one. I would hate to give money to musk, but it is not a bad car (based on the 2 people I know who have owned them for years).
We bought one a fair bit before Musk went full Neo Nazi. It’s a great car, the best car I’ve ever owned. The only repair in nearly 180k km was a known issue covered by warranty. They could be fantastic if the company wasn’t run by a moronic, petulant Neo-Nazi.
I wonder how common this is for evs in general. My vehicle has only gone in once for a recall on the windshield wiper motors, nothing else gone wrong.
The last car I had got off that brand needed quite a few repairs, so it’s remarkably refreshing to have a car that is just working along.
EVs just seen to be an easier thing to make reliable. Temperatures run much lower, fewer fluids in play, not having to deal with thousands of little explosions every minute…
The battery seems to draw all the headache, but even then reports suggest that conservative battery management systems have made those more reliable than people thought they would be. Probably thanks to the mandatory 100k warranty on batteries, the vendors took it seriously.
You could buy used not from Tesla if you did decide to buy in the future. Can get a great car and not pad their books.
I am hoping these end up as ICE vehicles. 🔒 🔥
I think that’s external combustion, but I get your point
And then Trump closes the Straight of Hormuz and ev sales increase. The question is whether Tesla gets a boost.
Luckily there are a lot of nice EVs from better brands!
