I want electric vehicles to proliferate, I want greater diversification of the corporate landscape and not the steady consolidation we’ve been watching happen. That said, I want Tesla, Twitter, and every other thing Musk has touched to crumble to dust and ruin and pull him down with it. I want history to treat him…

Prices are “estimated” so there are still no actual figures yet. Actual deliveries to people who aren’t hand picked Tesla cultists or influencers are also “estimated” to get their Cybertrucks next year. Real world range for Tesla is typically about 25% less than published, so these are terrible numbers. This was the…

But they said that it would cost 85% less to manufacture than the F150! Alien technology they said. Could it be that they were just pumping TSLA stock?

Between federal, state, and international EV subsidies (tax credits / tax abatements) and the regulatory credit sales (subsidies paid by their direct competitors), Tesla’s automobile business is on course to pull in over $10 billion in subsidization in 2023 alone.

Tesla is not a promise company, it’s a stock pump company. Once you realize that, then everything it (and Musk) does makes total sense. The greatest fraud of the 21st century.

Tesla’s paint quality is so bad that they have to wrap rather than offer paint color options. Really scraping the bottom of barrel to offset massive, margin eating price cuts.

Yes, I would love to pay twice the going rate for a vinyl wrap so it can be applied by a company famous for corner cutting and nonexistent QC.

Cybertruck was always a stock pump and nothing more. Original specs and prices have been removed from Tesla’s website. This truck was supposed to be feasible based on the 4680 battery, which (not surprisingly) also turned out to be a stock pump. 4680 is nothing more than a “C” sized battery vs. an “AA” battery. No…

This vehicle only exists to drum up press about Tesla and inflate their stock price. It will never be produced, or at least not in any form remotely resembling what it is currently.

Omead Afshar was fired from Tesla last year because he authorized Tesla to buy millions in high end construction glass for Elon’s personal use - “Project 42.” In the old days this was called embezzlement and these people were sent off to jail. This is just the surface of Tesla’s deeply ingrained deceptive accounting…

This was nothing but a stock pump right before earnings, which will show rapidly declining margins.

Even Lordstown has made more

Solar City bailout by Tesla was 100% to prevent a fatal margin call to Elon and his family. It never had a profitable business plan and the solar roof tile was always a complete fraud. Tesla has and will always be a welfare queen that will leech any government money it can get get its hands on.

Well, the oil industry produces oil.

As someone who may (or may not) have been forced to sign a Tesla NDA before they’d fucking fix their own broken shit, I agree. Too bad I can’t confirm that I’m also a victim of their shitty corporate tactics.

Tesla owners probably consented to the risks (and probably also waived all their rights at the same time); but the person in the other car on the road next to the Tesla didn’t, the person crossing the street on a crosswalk didn’t, the person cycling past didn’t. Those people are also “subjects” in this beta testing…

Not just beta testing on their customers - on the public at large!

Good “both sides” bullshit.

Kudos to Handelsblatt for having the courage to print this story given Tesla’s “hardcore” legal team.

Tesla notoriously covers legitimate warranty claims only if the customer signs an NDA not to divulge the cars defects, as a goodwill repair. They also cook their books using this method. They were bound to get caught with their fraudulent business practices.
