    thats what you get when you make them so shoddily that even normies now know they are unsafe. maybe at least make them cheap.

    not to mention the shitty phone-like software restrictions and how much of an outwardly incompetent dick daddy elon makes a point of being.

    i’m not sure if it would be a good thing if tesla went under, but its always fun to see him fail yet again.

    Sell them for $20,000 and I’m sure people will happily buy them up. Previously, people would pay a premium for a product associated with Musk, but now people demand a discount because it’s associated with Musk.

    The problem is a Tesla drives like a Tesla rather than a regular car, and it’s jarring to first time EV buyers. There are enough regular car EVs now that have improved to the point where you don’t need to adjust yourself and all potential drivers of your car to Tesla.

    I could probably have gotten used to the lack of physical controls and the permanent full regen setting, but my 70 year old mom would have a hard time adjusting. Instead, she can drive my non Tesla EV without too much adjustment.
