Electric Vehicles

What gives people the idea that Musk actually cares about Tesla stocks? His lifetime experience of failing upwards, perhaps?

What does Musk think Trump is going to do for him? Trump has said multiple times he wants to outright ban EVs and increase fuel production and sales. He hates public transportation, so he's not going to support The Loop. He's weirdly obsessed with space, sure, but Trump isn't going to give him money for SpaceX. Is Musk looking for a cabinet position or something?

Crazy to think about how supremely fucked up musk's deepest core beliefs must truly be, working from a base of growing up in South Africa on the PRO Apartheid sideb with those broken psychopath parents. Like we see plenty from him, but he's aware enough to not say the absolute worst of it out loud.

He's the evil foreign born person they're terrified of. He just ran over to their side so he could point outward to redirect the fingers he feared would point at him. Evil divorced coward

It definitely affected me. In retrospect I'm glad I bought a different EV.

If Musk wasn’t with Tesla, I’d consider Tesla an option. And, I’m definitely in the market, my lease runs out in January. But with that idiot, nope. No chance. Doesn’t even have anything to do with Trump support. So I guess he’s right in a way?

It sucks, where is the 2016 Musk. That dude seemed to really want to help the world.

Tesla was in a difficult position, but was really doing good things, SpaceX was just getting off the ground (pun intended), The Boring Company wasn't a thing yet.

But post 2016, he just seems to get worse and worse, meme coins, weird birther shit....

I used to really want a Tesla, they seemed like a car for me, but now that I am getting close to being able to afford one....well no, I think I'll probably get a polestar. Musk you went from what I would have called a visionary to a joke then kept sliding into actively dangerous. Shame really.

Whatever happens next month, I doubt Elon’s decision will age well. Even if Trump wins, I would be shocked if he doesn’t turn on Elon within a year.

This is the key takeaway, imo.

As a Tesla owner of 7 years, my next car will absolutely not be a Tesla and it is entirely because of Elon Musk.

I appreciate the company spurring competition to enter the market with EVs, but now I hope they crash and burn.

I mean they're also really shitty cars. As much as the muskrat as poisoned the image of the company, I think a lot of the loss and sales is due to other competitors having caught up and being higher quality.

I don't drive a Tesla because I have never liked Musk. Apart from that imo the only model that is somewhat good looking is the model S but still very overpriced for what you get.

Dude keeps surprising me with his stupid decisions. Can't imagine the shareholders are happy with his newest pro Trump thing, once again showing he is a huge narcissist.

Aren't they releasing quarterly numbers tommorow? I guess we will see what "all time high" means very soon.

Edit: Earnings release today after market clothes. Earnings call tommorow.

Note, they won't tell how many teslas they sold, but they will report how much their profit was.

Ai art finally getting some proper use here

I'm still undecided on an electric car, mostly because modern cars are such privacy nightmares on wheel (not Tesla-specific).

But there's one thing for sure: whatever car I get eventually won't be a Tesla, and that's 100% due to Musk's misguided political gesticulations.

I'm one example of business lost forever to Tesla. One example doesn't make a trend, but if there's one, there are others.

I own 2 Model 3’s. I waited in line the day before the reveal to plunk down $1000 to reserve it sight-unseen.

I will never buy a Tesla again, and want to unload my 2 as soon as a comparable replacement is available. I’m embarrassed to drive mine around.
