They were hand slapped w/ a $275k fine for violating clean air laws in 2022. Much cheaper to pollute than to abide by the law.

Tesla “has agreed to pay $1.5 million” for their dumping.

“Autopilot is popular because of the features that make it unsafe. Tesla can’t improve its safety without killing the user experience that people like.” - E.W. Niedermeyer

But Elon said it will have a 500 mile range, cost $70k, and drive by itself. This article is FUD!

Tesla has already notified CT owners to wash their trucks immediately if any bird crap or bugs contact the stainless steel.

Now try opening the locked doors after an accident when the battery is dead and it is quickly catching on fire.

TSLA by far has the highest volume of derivative trading in the entire equities market. If it crashes, the whole system collapses.

This is exactly why the SEC continues to S “E” C. TSLA is literally a systemic risk. User @Aiaddict1 on Twitter was questioned by the DoJ regarding Tesla matters and he said that they had to “be careful” so as to not affect the stock.

I didn’t claim they were, but if several trillion dollars of value disappears from the market, what’s the fallout? It isn’t going to be nothing, in fact, it’s probably orders of magnitude larger.

Tesla, SpaceX, et al, have suppliers and businesses dependent on them, which could also go belly up. There are massive…

Tesla’s market cap peaked at 1.2 trillion dollars, though is slightly lower today at just three quarters of a trillion. SpaceX is another quarter of a trillion. Twitter was allegedly worth 44 billion, though much less today. Elon’s net worth is a quarter of a billion alone.

Just, hypothetically, how much do you think…

Is a “legitimate” auto company one which stays afloat by government subsidies? I would argue not since they basically make no profit after regulatory carbon credits and depend on IRA tax credits to generate sales. However, Elon himself claims that it is a robotics/AI company, which is absolute fraud. Check their 8-K…

I never said that they didn’t sell a lot of Model Y’s. They have sold a lot of cars and it has put a heap of hurt on traditional carmakers. But TSLA market cap is valued more than the entire industry put together, based on vaporware and fantasy that a drug addicted CEO regularly spews out to pump the stock. Elon has…

But Elon said that Tesla will make Full Self Driving possible in 2016, so I still believe him. They will also make a Roadster that can fly with a SpaceX option and a CyberTruck that can float in water. He also said that Teslas are the safest cars in the world, so it must be true.

That’s exactly what happened when Ford had to change the fuel economy rating on the C-max. That was sort of a different scenario,

Tesla is such a douchey company. Ripping customers off is grand. When threatened to be held to task, they silently change things. I hope enough customers get together in a class action suit, as the change on their website is an admission that they lied to the customers and delivered a lesser product.

Not sure what false claims you are claiming but yes, Tesla did sell a lot of Model Y’s in Q1 2023. Cars sell quite well when you knock off 20% from the price and the federal government provides $7500 in subsidies. Some state and local governments add even more to the welfare support.

4680 is a complete flop. It was promised by Musk to be higher energy density and lower cost - a key to make Roadster, CT, and the $25k car. None of those battery claims materialized (and only 1 vehicle became somewhat real). Tesla is not an automotive or tech company, it is a stonk pump company.

If this were Tesla, they’d claim it could get a 1000 mile range.

Any Model S/X pre-2021 will need hardware upgrades. OTA software updates will not address the problem. This alone affects over 300k cars.

If you are dumb enough to go through with this purchase, I suggest having a talk with one of the 1000 buyers of the “founders edition” Roadster 2. These geniuses prepaid $250k 6 years ago and it is still vaporware.
