Watch how Tesla goes bankrupt because of one CEO’s idiocy and greed and then blame unions for it. Tale as old as time.

    This tool can’t accept he is the cause of the poor sales. He alienated his customers with his right wing rhetoric.

      Teslas are impractical, cheaply made and expensive. That’s why they aren’t selling. Electric vehicles aren’t selling in general because they don’t make sense for the money. It’s a forced meme by special interests.

        tf are you talking about? Forced meme? The numbers work for.many people and if they do they buy them. If they don’t then they don’t buy them.

        It is not a forced meme, my friend. Certainly economics play a role, but so do logistics. I live in an apartment with no way to charge an electric car, so even if I wanted one, it is moot. For now.

        Take a look at electric bicycles and make a guess what will happen with electric cars. All of this depends on the price of gas, of course, and each country’s fetish with driving large trucks.

        EV is a premium product, they are even designed to look different than other vehicles. People who buy an EV have a choice, it’s not a lowest bidder type situation.

        Tesla’s used to be the cool EV. Sure, one could buy a different one but they are not as cool. Then Elon opened his mouth and the veil was lifted. Turns out he isn’t a genius, never got accepted to a PhD program, and his undergrad in physics is highly suspect. Then Elon went mask off as a fascist, right wing clown.

        People buy EV’s are usually doing so for a status symbol and for the saving the environment ideology. Elon and his companies no longer represent that, and Teslas are no longer selling.
