He's a modern day Edison [this is an insult].

I really miss ten years ago, when I had a faint glimmer of hope that he might not be a complete piece of shit. He really showed his character with the "pedo guy" debacle and has been on a steep downward trajectory since.

This was cringe 15 years ago but now, oh wow- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfiRd4Y5z_g

Build fiber to rural areas so they won’t need Starlink

Canadian Government "Sorry, the best I can do is get three companies that are an oligopoly to one day, maybe, fix this."

Please do.

Stock market as a whole is...okay I guess. These one-off, bulletproof companies are silly. It's almost a religion and the people who hold the stock truly believe that Tesla is going to make automatic cars that will drive everyone while also making autonomous robots that will do everyone's laundry and the current problems are nothing compared to the beliefs in the future. The value will hold until it doesn't (eg, they finally need the money for today's bills in a recession that cost them their jobs), and then the value will plummet to something that actually looks normal for the sales they are making at this time.

Until they need their money, they have the unshakable belief they will all be millionaires as soon as Tesla comes out with the world changing techs and has no competition. Should be any day now. Or maybe in 2 weeks.

That’s what gets me. What stupid ass holes are holding this up? Let it fucking die. Maybe don’t tie up all your money with a neurotic criminal next time? What piece of shit idiot has their income riding on Tesla shares.

It's always been an MLM.

There are even a couple of cybertrucks in my neighborhood.

The most recent article I found says each rebate must be verified before the federal government will release the funds to Tesla.

I think you need to wait a generation of car buying before really coming to any conclusions.

I bought a Model Y when they first came out and still drive it, but I’m 99% sure I’ll be “one and done” with Tesla once it’s time for me to buy my next car. There are some features of my Tesla that I like, but plenty I dislike as well. I don’t agree with Elons ideas of minimizing controls, relying on vision for all automation, etc. The idea of windshield wiper controls being a couple levels deep in touchscreen menus is a terrible idea.

The only way I’d buy a second Tesla a few years down the line is if they gave up on the minimalist/touchscreen route and started reintroducing physical controls for most functions. But it’s a safe bet Elon will never allow that as long as he’s running things.

When I do finally decide to replace my Tesla a few years from now there will be significantly more EV options out there. And with the J3400 connector now an open standard and Tesla SuperChargers supporting non -Tesla EV’s, there’s even less incentive to stay with a Tesla EV.

I live in Toronto and, while I see Tesla cars often, I've never seen a cyber truck in person.

There's way too many swasticars here, but it's still like one third of what I used to see in NYC. One time one of those fuckers blocked a major intersection to shoot off illegal fireworks.

Pretty sure this is a big factor, globally, 10 years ago, Tesla was basically the only viable option if you looked for EV.

Nowadays every brand has some EV on their catalog. Even if the EV market grew massively you can just go to any dealership, and see EV in every shape/size/price rather than having to choose between 2-3 Tesla models which are big and expensive

One is too many.

It would have been grave if they picked the other one.

It is kinda cute!
