Because a reasonable buyer knows the maintenance cost of a German sedan, knows that a Honda product will be more reliable, and knows it will be better equipped than a similar priced German model.

What would happen if Tesla’s value did fall in-line with the valuations of the other players in the market? They wouldn’t have the time and resources to get to scale if they weren’t catastrophically overvalued (with valuation being key to their borrowing ability and securing VC); they would simply fail and their assets…

I’m not pretending you’re an asshole, I’m TELLING you that your thought process is deluded and making justifications for a company that simply doesn’t deserve them.

It’s nice that you got some pedantry out of the way, always makes us feel good.

They sell less cars than Subarus (at a loss too, their only profit comes from selling carbon offset credits) and yet they are valued at more than how many other automakers combined. Yea, nothing out of the ordinary to see here, it’s not like there is a massive market correction on the horizon...

Electric cars are cool, Tesla is a financial house of cards begging to collapse fronted by a narcissistic conman. It’s reasonable to be a fan of new technology while also wanting to see Tesla reduced to cinders.  

They’ve kept adding and adding to Horizon so much that it’s just a glorious mess now. I got it when it released on my PC and put a bunch of time into it, went back to it after getting a Series X and there were dozens of events and modes and who knows what else that wasn’t there before. 

Invert Y forever.

“So you want a crap ton of people to lose their good jobs?”

“I live in a rural area and don’t really care if I’m going over a line when there are no other cars on the road.”

“Tesla makes luxury vehicles”

It’ll still cost $40K...

It’s all pretty simple, we just won’t stand for bigots and racists anymore. If that’s too high a bar to set...tough shit. 

“How many people are eager to buy the next Subaru when it rolls off the assembly line?”

Tesla sells less cars than Subaru and they can’t manage a launch without looking like an amateurs.

(See: All of the people who reply to articles about Cyberpunk 2077 with some diatribe about how the game runs swimmingly on their gazillion-dollar rig, and that it’s the game of the year, and why is it getting so much bad word of mouth anyway, what’s the problem?)

*sigh*

We the rest of the fucking people want you people to know YOUR SIDE FUCKING LOST!! Just because a pathological liar tells you otherwise doesn’t mean the rest of us give a shit, grow up you toddlers.
