That article does not paint a pretty picture for Tesla
The hubris of their owner will sink this company.

Couldn't agree more.

And politics, I would argue that has been the biggest impact on sales.

... a truck that looks like my LG Fridge

That thing should never have “truck" in it’s name.

Tis disrespectful to trucks.

Same with GM’s named Hummer.

Wouldn't that be a double edged sword? Without politics I really doubt Tesla would be where they are today.
Crazy stuff!

I'm not sure if he was ever "loved" by the left, but certainly not hated like he is now.

He's betting the house on AI, and is probably in the lead for consumer autonomy, but I doubt he can hold on to it with more and more compute coming online and Nvidia getting in the game

And not to mention China who Trump just green-lit advanced GPU chip sales to. Making China Great Again.

Don’t forget the dang self landing rockets and communication satellites.
That’s just some of what makes "the news”...

I haven't liked Musk since 2018 when he called a cave rescuer a "pedo guy." That's when I knew the guy had serious mental issues. He also claims to be a "free speech absolutist" yet banned the guy on Twitter that reported the tracking info for peoples private jets including Musk's--- So much for being "absolute!" I have such a long list of distain for this guy that started long before 2025.

I'm rooting for BYD to wipe the floor with Tesla.

Best line of the day goes to @jasonwx "...making a (cyber) truck that looks like my LG Fridge"
