      The products are decent. Just that there are a lot more competitions that make much better cars.

      Well Musk is spending most of his time breaking Xitter lately so maybe the Tesla guys can get some good stuff done while he’s distracted.

    Teslas are boring. There are only 4 of them and they all look the same. (And the cybertruck is an abomination, sorry if you’re going to buy one; good luck surviving all the steel balls people will be throwing at you)

      Don’t worry Tesla owners, this guy’s better than you and all along knew that he should be buying hummers.

      This smugness from basement dwellers is flat out embarassing.

        Swing and a miss, sparky. I’ve been driving electric for the last 7 years but have no interest in Tesla for a wide variety of reasons.

        Also I literally told you why I don’t like them — there are only 4 of them and they all look the same; do you think maybe the fact that they’ve become so ubiquitous over the last few years and so samey could contribute to changed perceptions of them? What’s new in 2017 is old in 2023.

        Just try and be a better person/contributor around here. Smarten up.

          Oh noooooo. Thanks for that single issue that’s entirely subjective.

          Meanwhile; they provide the best performance for the price, putting exotics 0-60 to shame. Have the best charging infrastructure. Get great range despite the recent hit pieces. And, for some subjective IMO goodness, are super fucking cool. I love the infotainmentcontrolwhatever way they handle things.

          But no, they’re just copy/paste pieces of shit. All hail anybody but Elon!

            They’re fine cars, they need a refresh is all. You’re reading way too much into this. They’re not copy-paste, they’re ubiquitous and as exciting as a Honda Civic in terms of looks, to me at least. 0-60 time is fun, but so are physical buttons.

            All hail anybody but Elon!

            You know he’s never going to marry you though, right?

                The only person bringing up Elon Musk is you. The only person offended (apparently) on behalf of Elon Musk is you. Sort yourself out.

                  I couldn’t give a fuck about Musk. He could die tomorrow and I’d say “Good for him.” What I think is hilarious is the assumption by you and others in these comments that my drive to correct them stems from some love of the ugy.

                  Sort yourself out.

    I dont get how this is news. Teslas market cap was already higher than all the other car makers combined while only producing a fraction of the vehicles. Everyone knew that this stock wasnt a value stock. Where is the news

    I’m surprised this isn’t just because of there being more competitors to Tesla like rivian. Tbh though I dislike cars, I just have to use them sadly.

      There aren’t any. By volume Tesla is still the biggest EV maker by far. The competition is nowhere close to catching up. If they screw up the launch of the Cybertruck, they’ll really be in trouble, though. Also, the valuation is to a large degree based on the promise of full self driving. That seems to be an increasingly distant prospect, though.

    Maybe anecdotal but I bought a Kia EV6 over a Tesla because of Musk and CarPlay support. I know I can’t be the only one that took that into consideration.

    The moment those Chinese EV startups enter the US market, Tesla will be in real trouble if they don’t have their product quality image problem fixed by then.

    It’ll be like Detroit’s Big 3 automakers tanking when small fuel efficient Japanese cars landed in the 70s oil crisis.

    Assuming those Chinese EV companies don’t have their own quality problems…

      It would require 89.5% of outside investors to vote against him.

      Only congress has an approval rating of 9.5 or lower.

        With how their stock is losing value due to Elon and the reputation he puts on Tesla’s products, that wouldn’t be very hard I would think.

          It’s over double what it was at the beginning for the year. How is it losing value?

    Tesla gets more popular each time the name gets mentioned, their market is now people who buy the cars because they are popular and see them around. Remove their ads, stop giving them visibility, stop fueling the brand

    To put this in perspective, Tesla’s stock price has still more than doubled since the beginning of the year. They’re doing just fine.

    The past few weeks have been rough across the market. I suspect the reemergence of COVID has played a factor.
