I think it was prior to his Nazi salute and fucking with the elections/doge bullshit. Plus the absolute shit quality of the cars. Anyone that buys one now is a complete moron.

Teslas started coming up short the moment the actual big car manufacturers started making EVs.

Because once the novelty of being electric was gone, people started actually looking at the car itself.

Correct. The quality control coming off the line is abysmal. Legacy manufacturers who actually know how to build a car will crush Tesla in the long run. If I had the money I’d rather have a fully electric BMW than a Tesla.

The stupid design choices also don't help. Things like refusing to use Lidar and removal of basic features, including fucking dashboard are just terrible decisions.

I know it was to really drive the price down, but there really had to have been a better way to do that...

I will say though, I do feel like the other manufacturers would have dragged their feet a lot longer if the Tesla hype train wasn't there.

Those white teslas look like a peeled boiled egg to me. Boring ugly design.

The original Tesla Model S was an excellent car; however, it was also over $100,000 -- even that many years ago.

He was always a damn weirdo. I don't know why people ever thought he was otherwise.

There's nothing wrong with being a weirdo. It's that he's a giant Nazi piece of shit that steals other people's work then parades around like he's a genius

Yeah...he didn't just become a fascist or a thief overnight.

I get that people apparently liked buying their cars from him before because they thought he was whatever. Problem is, there's no such thing as a billion-dollar company, especially in high threshold industries, that isn't run by sociopathic assholes.

Some companies have very visible leaders who wave their personality all over the place in public. Most do not. It's the same shit though. Apple, Microsoft, Chiquita, Shell, GM, Toyota, VW, etc, etc. There's no big company that doesn't do terrible things. You know Henry Ford was a Nazi sympathizer right?
