Surveys / polls.

That’s definitely one of the reasons, but the other reason is probably that their cars are now 6+ years old and fucking old now interior or exterior wise.

Record profits, but we promised shareholders we’d cut some costs so… sorry Bob, you’re out a a job.

This is the other car in Back to the Future that you could actually live with. Nice Price

Why waste valuable space on decadent toilet when ship is already in water? Make deuce over side of ship, comrade!

Man, Cracker Barrel is just sitting on a goldmine here. All they need to do is add 30 or so chargers per location and they’d be the gold standard of interstate charging. Think of it — they already have a location every 45 miles or so, people stopping and eating at their restaurants, paying money to charge, and then buy…

I don’t know anything about this other than what I just read in this article, but seems to me sneaking onboard this thing is a great way to end up a prisoner in a foreign country for an indefinite period of time. Just like trying to take drugs through a russian airport.

#4 should be #1 it is way more important. I hope the UAW steam rolls the south auto plants. No more kids working for KIA and other BS they getting away with.   

Imagine if Tesla had spent all the money that went towards the Cybertruck on something that wasn’t dumb as fuck.  They could have made a damn impressive vehicle.

Maybe Tesla should just do for Musk what most corporate leaders do to show they appreciate their team’s hard work and throw him a pizza party.

I’ve posted this before but the stock price is likely being hammered because FSD is looking like it’ll never actually do what was promised. That was the big bet people were making.

This is a great example of an immature organization trying to build an autocratic Ceo’s back of an envelope sketch and failing. It’s like the automotive equivalent of the artificial islands in Dubai that are turning into an ecological disaster or all the urban hellscape pipe dreams like The Line or Charlie Munger's…
