"I'm just showing the stock graph in what direction to go"

I mean, it would still make more sense than SpaceX + xAI. Unlike a data center, a Tesla did actually go to space

By having your CEO come out as a fascist, pissing off the demographic that tends to buy EVs and also stagnating while allowing your competitors to catch up.

By pivoting to humanoid robots and LLMs.

However, the company's gross profits dropped as operating expenses climbed far quicker than revenue, in large part thanks to AI-related capital expenses and other research and development

Teslas are objectively last Gen. The only reason they still sell well in the US and some other markets is tariffs.

In the US, the market has soured on EVs and the federal tax credits have gone away.

Outside the US, China is eating their lunch.

Not anymore.

Thanks to the freefalling stock.

Subsidized government contracts

Not for long if this keeps plunging!

As always, people have short memories, or just do not give a shit about ethics

Tesla’s vehicle sales rose 77 percent from January through May compared with a year earlier, the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association said this week. In May, Tesla sold 22,000 cars in Europe. That’s more than Ford, Nissan or Honda, even when including their fossil-fuel models.

Many people seem to have put aside their personal feelings about Mr. Musk after Tesla cut prices for its entry-level models to levels that are competitive with comparable gasoline or diesel vehicles and inexpensive cars from China. In some countries, Tesla’s Model Y sport utility vehicles can be leased for less than 300 euros, or about $340, a month.

“Once you go down the pricing scale, people pay less attention to ethics or morality,” said Matthias Schmidt, an independent analyst in Berlin who tracks electric vehicles sales. “Tesla’s product has become so appealing from a price perspective, it’s almost too good to refuse.”

When I see people drive them, I wonder why you would buy such a thing.

After a few years on this country's hole filled roads and stone paved streets, they start to break down and develop a distinct squeaking noise, indicating that the build quality is not good at all.

Still, I think it's more of a fashion statement from vain people that will trade it for a new car in 4 years, so build quality does not matter. It says "Look, peasants, I have an imported american car. Envy me, you Peugeot driving scum."

He loves buying his own supply.

I live in Lisbon, Portugal and they are everywhere. At any stop light you easily see 3 or 4.

How the fuck did it make $20 billion? How the fuck did it make 23% more than last year? Who the fuck is still buying this shit?

Lots of Aussies, lots of Europeans at least. Why I've given up being depressed by my fellow humans, 10% are good, 10% are assholes and 80% don't give a shit.

He's gone! They're finished! It's over! We won! It's happening! They just make a title you want to read, same for someone who wants to read something against trans people.

It lets them shuffle numbers around on a spreasheet to invent new money. This isn't an oopsy.

Not SpaceX so far. Down to half it's high point. It's only been a public stock 6(?) weeks. Seems to be averaging a few dollars negative each day with no apparent floor.

Cars ruin cities in general.

There are a couple local teslas with the "I bought it before I knew how awful he is" stickers and like, okay, I can understand how that might happen. Still gonna judge you until there's some evidence you don't suck, but I'm willing to be forgiving on that one.

... However there's also a local cybertruck with that sticker, and buddy no nobody's buying it, stop trying to lie your way out of the consequences for your actions it just makes you look even worse. FWIW I've seen people throw rocks at the truck twice, so there's some hope for the future.

well, yeah

but I'd still rather drive somewhere than walk there if it's really far and I have to make the trip
