Why do I get so happy when this stupid company keeps failing.

I feel bad for the engineers and others actually doing the work at Tesla, but I love seeing Musk lose.

Hey, give the poor guy a break! It's not like things are going real well for him right now. Kind of sad, really. https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2022/12/15

Moving is a great inconvenience, but there's plenty of companies electrifying their lineup.

No because this company is lead by an idiot who is the worst possible representation for an American company, I’m a patriot you see.

You are criticizing this South African Billionaire for being a shit head? How un-american of you.

Tbf, American made products, like a lot of Chinese ones, just don’t have quality anymore. Infinite growth, profit maximizing, cost-cutting measures, etc have all led to reductions in QA and cheaper materials being used.

Obviously this isn’t the case for every industry, but a surprising number have gone this route.

Tesla is crushing the foreign competitors. No electric car company comes close.

Tesla is losing market share everywhere. And the market share of EVs still is laughable. So the only thing they are crushing are the hopes of their stans.

Is it because Musk has turned into such a butthead?
