Agreed. Doing little to nothing with the overall design for the past 12 years since the first model S came out hasn’t been a good choice. On top of that, making every car in your lineup look basically the same doesn’t help either. If you took the model numbers off the image below, the average person would know they…

you really underestimate the loyalty and financial power of Elon Tesla stan fanbois

Well Tesla has their own issues lol, Musk is a BIG part, but also their iterative design means for the average joe there haven’t been any meaningful changes to the cars, except some minor changes to the outside, and frankly I think the earlier ones looked better.  Inside, well there isn’t much there to begin with, and…

As far as the last paragraph goes, I think the people you should be least concerned about are Williams and Wilmore, although I’m sure they’re very frustrated about not being able to complete their mission. They had additional maneuvers they were going to perform post-undocking, and now they will never get to do those.…

Sales are still growing for everyone but Tesla. The problem is just that sales are not growing at the monster rate automakers assumed.

IF Musk actually opens the network up to other cars, there will be adapters readily available since there will be plenty of market demand. I’m not going to put off buying a whole car for what may amount to a $100 adapter part.

I thought that term was mostly dead and cliche for at least the past 10 years.

I can see the problem of this thing even before launch.

Oh, it would be so nice if they could do that. And if they could, Boeing would go for it in a heartbeat, actually. NASA would be ordering them to right now. Unfortunately, it’s not an option, for several reasons.

This is my biggest concern with Polestar right now (more the Betamax than the plug issue). It’s such a great EV, yet without enough adoption, it’ll disappear and we’ll be left with a lower quality ubiquitous offering (I’m looking at the basically never refreshed garbage from Tesla).

They could easily do a spacewalk and remove the thrusters to bring back down inside another vehicle, but that would mean they might actually be able to figure out the problem, which Boeing definitely does not want to do.  They’ll be happy when the evidence of their fuck up doesn’t survive re-entry.

He fired most of the team responsible for the supercharger network. Tesla took US subsidies in exchange for opening up the network, and clearly hasn’t done so at any real scale.

Nationalize this shit. Take the network away from the petulant child.

Contracts don’t help much when the only way to settle disputes is years of legal battles and millions spent on litigation. 

But even most drivers of electric Ford and Rivian models do not yet have access to Tesla chargers because the companies have not received enough adapters from Tesla.

I truly believe this is a significant reason for the current growth decline of EVs in the United States.

Go to one of the sites stanning for Musk while ignoring reality. You’ll be much happier there. 

Are we officially done with the Cybertruck now? This thing is a dumpster fire, and it seems the only people who purchased them are Elon blowhards. When can we just pile all Cybertrucks onto an iceberg and push it off into the sea?

It’s definitely a bit worrisome that a car marketed on safety and security

Elon Musk denying it and calling the guy a pedo? Check.

Buy stupid car; win stupid prize.
