    Makes sense given that they’re now pivoting from automobile company to artificial intelligence, which is a bubble and on top of that, they’ve just given the CEO a 50 billion pay packet. They’ll stabilize in a week or so.

    being the first does not guarantee success, people were saying that unless tesla fix their QC problem, legacy carmakers will overtake them. guess they’re not fast enough or even care.

      There’s a real value in knowing how the other parts of a car go together. There’s a value in having a QA team in place that only needs to adjust to a different power plant rather than learn how to QA for a completely different product.

    I hate to point this out because fuck Elon but it looks like despite sales falling drastically, they still sold over 6 times more than their next competitor.

      I’m not sure where the “failing harder than the rest of the market is succeeding” comes from either. At least based on volume of sales from the table, the sum of the changes between 2023 and 2024 (27,261 excluding Tesla) is bigger than Tesla’s change (-21,443). But I haven’t proper done math in a while, if anyone could correct me that’d be a great refresher.

    Until Tesla is no longer controlled by the major nepo baby in history, it will continue to be a fad and meme car without future.
