I wonder what percentage of Tesla drivers are now ashamed to own Teslas. I know not everyone is as terminally online and tuned into Elmo’s bullshit like we are, but I imagine there’s got to be more than a few people out there regretting giving this douchebag more money.

We were actually looking into getting a Tesla solar roof earlier this year, but that evaporated pretty quickly once he cranked the dipshit dial up to “total.”

lol my mom was looking to get a Tesla a few months ago but I talked her out of it because Elon is a moron and they're lovely cars. I'll ask her if she's satisfied with that choice later today.

But the point is that the principle of electric cars has been known for over 100 years. The problem has always been battery tech, recharging tech, and efficient motors that don't drain the battery quickly.

Tesla was responsible for heaps of tech developments that made electric cars viable. But now actual companies are catching up and there are no more inherent reasons to buy teslas.

Wasn't the technique of filling up your cars with piles of AA batteries a way to get manufacturing going more quickly, while being worse in the long run than more conventional bigger battery tech that would be slower to come out of the gate? Or maybe I'm remembering things wrong, I'm not an engineering guy.

Probably not. The stock price was only overinflated in the first place because of Musk's Real Life Iron Man persona and the cult surrounding it. If anything it might drop even further.

I can fit 3 whole bud light cans now, ask me how!
I know this is a little off-topic, but before I found God I was a real mess. and I was a slave to my powerful urges. they were very intense! Very... carnal....

but that's all behind me now. I'm healthy are both mentally and psychologically. my only problem is George Soros. He's paying someone to mess with me. It's sick! I mean this guy is good I have no idea how he is making it around my house on noticed but somehow my vaporizer is never on me even though I try to keep it on me all the time. He has some kind of pleasure out of knowing that I know that he's watching me and there's nothing I can do about it.

but I still don't understand those QAnon crazies . Yes, it sucks to have a guy moving all your stuff around so that even though you have three pairs of scissors, you still can't find a pair but I'm not gonna go on some kind of crusade. Jesus would want me to turn the other cheek so I will. and as they say, the best revenge is living your best life. it's really not that bad. I bet it tears them up that it doesn't bother me. Hell I just laughed when he pulled the shower bottle down and made it crash into the ground at exactly 9.8 m/s. loving nano wave skin suit technology makes these fuckers, completely invisible. Meanwhile, I'm washing dishes by hand because he is monitoring the temperature inside of my dishwasher does it matter at the end of the day that my temperature date is leaking out and it's Sauris can do whatever you want with it? of course not it's just another thing we except along with the conveniences of modern society. constant surveillance.

It's not like I'm worried about the temperature getting out. No I just don't want to give him the satisfaction. Do you think I don't understand about musk is he's got a huge platform now. Why doesnt he fight back? Must be planning something pretty big covertly. It's amazing what musk has done for us when you think about it he's going after Fauci he's going after Biden. Hell I would too, if I had a face like that id be mad at the world too. I mean think about it you can avoid mirrors, but you can't hide from the grossed out reaction People get when they just look at your mug and the skin just sort of reminds them of a week old school pizza that's been devoured by rats. Just something that started out looking really bad and then got pummeled. And the sad thing is that women will sleep with you. But no kissing, and no missionary please. its gotta hurt hearing that. and real relationships are so fleeting because the fact of the matter is you have to see the other person to have a relationship with them and it's just so hard to see musk and not feel nauseated. maybe I could pull it off I don't know. I mean, even if someone has a weird and hosed up face usually there's something attractive about them musk as if you like game a fight ugly so you've got like mix of a troll hiding under a bridge and just a giant tub of Crisco. I mean it can't be easy to get in the mood after seeing something like that.

oh man, I just grossed myself out . His face is imprinted on my mind. I'm just gonna blur it.

And the $7500 federal tax credit for evs that basically allowed Tesla to have an extra $7500 margin in every car. They've hit the federal limit but I think California still gives a credit equal or higher to what the profit margin would be on something like a Camry. So pretty much just another tax funded rear end in a top hat.

CA has a ~$2k tax rebate, but it's for all EVs and stacks with the federal one where appropriate. Yes that means you get almost $10k off the actual price of most EVs, but not Tesla!

My "mustang" mach-e with extended range and some upgrades cost noticably less than a bare basic model 3 would have.

When I test drove the Tesla the autopilot sensor kept thinking that half the cars on the road were traffic lights flying at me. Sales dude was shocked when I passed on placing an order lmao.

Since it’s come up, Asperger’s is no longer an official diagnosis. It’s all autism now.

Asperger’s was made by Nazis to separate autistic people who were allowed to live because they could be productive workers from those who would be killed because they were too disabled.

Additionally, autism has nothing to do with Musk being a narcissistic shitbag.

A independent CEO will probably quickly realize that the valuable part of the pre-Elon company hasbeen gutted and it'll cost more then its worth to even attempt to put that back together and just sutter it instead of throwing good money after bad.

Tesla's stock drop had me curious how it compares to other car companies.

How the hell is it worth so much more than Ford and General Motors? It's more than both of them put together!

A few (stupid) theories moved Tesla into frothy as gently caress valuation territory. If you’ve hung around people that bought a lot of Tesla or read idiot analysts theory of Tesla in the last few years you’d see the following arguments for why Tesla being worth more than every other car manufacturer in the world combined wasn’t insanity.

”an idiot” posted:

Tesla isn’t a car company it’s a software company because they sell self driving.
Everyone ignores the fact that what characterizes software companies is that it costs almost nothing to add a new customer to your SaaS product whereas cars are capital intensive and margins are historically stupid thin as markets get competitive. You can’t compare Google to Tesla.

”an idiot” posted:

Tesla is a battery/energy company so it’s like Toyota + Exxon Mobile.
The truth is the vast majority of Teslas batteries are actually made by Samsung. The only batteries they made on their own were for their power wall product and their solar business isn’t exactly printing money. Tesla’s supercharger network is more like owning gas stations than owning oil fields.

”an idiot” posted:

That self driving was just around the corner and that Tesla was in the best position to capitalize.
Meanwhile, we knew 3 or 4 years ago they were significantly behind Waymo and Cruise who have all chosen a very different approach than Tesla. Tesla went from vision + radar to vision only and if rumors are to be believe back to vision + radar. The leaders are using LIDAR + vision which would double the price of a Model3.

”an idiot” posted:

That Tesla iterates faster than other automakers.
This is in fact true but also leads to long production ramp ups as Tesla works out the kinks after the cars have hit customer hands. Toyota produces 300k Camrys a year. When they redesign, they take the factories down for a couple of weeks to retool and they’re immediately back to 300k Camrys a year. Tesla can’t do that yet or at least hasn’t demonstrated it.

Essentially Tesla was way out on Electric and that’s giving them super high margins right now. Quality of their cars is still poo poo and the competition is breathing down their necks. At some point they’re going to have to invest in interiors that aren’t trash and lower prices.

There’s absolutely no way Tesla isn’t about to enter a world of pain as it slowly transforms into a a regular rear end car company at the first sign of revenue not double year over year.
