Elon Musk

its funny/ironic cuz using soap on the install is probably exactly the kind of ‘hack’ that elon was probably pushing internally back when he was ‘sleeping at the factory’ to make more model 3s or w/e

That's how we can tell that either this is the real Musk, or he is mentally ill (or both), because he seemed to have a good thing going for him and fucked it all up, apparently intentionally. Bezos, I'm sure he's a huge twat, but he seems to have the sense to keep his mouth shut. Trump, he used to have this vague liberal veneer to him, too, and yeah, he's gone full heel as well, but he is old and was always a stupid asshole.

with Bezos its kind of a "don't hate the player hate the game" situation, he's doing the kind of shit you might expect from an obscenely wealthy person. meanwhile Elon spends all his time being a terrible reactionary shitposter like any number of Nazi losers, who are either getting paid for it or are teeangers. Elon is neither, in fact he's like actively losing billions of dollars doing this shit

Really cool that 'unapproved changes' are happening in the manufacturing process

theyre just taking a page from boeings playbook https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/11/us/politics/spirit-aerosystems-boeing-737-max.html

its funny elons blaming the soap when it really is a batshit design that should never have made it out of autocad or w/e hell auto engineers use to design cars

Tesla is recalling all 3,878 Cybertrucks that it has shipped to date

― lag∞n, Friday, April 19, 2024 8:00 AM (three hours ago) bookmarkflaglink

the sheer number and variety of problems and defects that have surfaced in cybertrucks so far based on this incredibly small sample size...i can't quite wrap my brain around it

i don't know that Tesla can fully recover, i think that specific design on the main fleet is pretty tiresome to a lot of people and at some point if you're driving a white tesla and you're at a stoplight with six other white teslas, it's a little embarrassing, and there are other better looking EVs out there now.

just out of curiosity i looked it up and Ford sold 750,789 F-150s in 2023

it's still a hot-shit vehicle to own to a certain degree but it doesn't feel like a long-term respectable brand, and i think the cybertruck is such an ugly failure it shows a company that doesn't have a clue.

Cybertruck seems destined to be the Pinto of this generation, known solely for people dunking on it. though it's way more expensive which makes it a lot more embarrassing

and yeah Tesla's reputation has cratered in a way I've never really seen, I mean I remember people getting all stoked just for the chance to ride in one, now the main thing I hear is "they're kinda ugly aren't they?". Elon himself isn't helping by being a total embarrassment, it's not even like a party line thing as it is with Trump, he only appeals to a specific type of incel Nazi

would be funny if the next gen teslas just copied the hyundai evs which prob have the best ev design language right now

Anecdotal data from my city, I've only seen 2 (TWO) Cybertrucks of ~10 that were not on the back of a tow truck = 20% not being towed (for being inoperable or parked illegaly, I know not).

3,878 seems not that many sales across nearly six months?

they cant make enough

yes i guess it's deliveries not sales

also stock just dipped below 148

it should go to zero thats what id pay

tesla as the plucky underdog penny stock of the future

Trump, he used to have this vague liberal veneer to him

I’m sorry, what

(stock might end the day below 146 lol)

Trump used to be a Dem donor who would sign his name to climate pledges and the like lol

(nope there was a late little rally 👎🏽)

Musk OUT wouldn’t help Tesla. A new CEO isn’t going to make FSD real and if one came in and actually made the real world product better it would still be valued at car company prices instead of tech unicorn prices.

Everybody dunked on his compensation package but without his relentless lying and hyping it would be a $35 stock so maybe he did create all that “shareholder value.”

It would help Tesla but it would destroy their stock price. People buy Tesla because Musk.

People buy Tesla because Musk.

I said to my wife over lunch that the fact that the Cybertruck recall impacts fewer than 4000 vehicles means that the Musk cult is a whole lot smaller than the press a) realizes or b) is willing to acknowledge.

People buy tesla *stock* because musk, I should have said.

Fwiw though for now at least they’re selling cybertrucks as fast as they can make them. The fact that they have not sold many is evidence they have not made many, not that musk is or is not an unusually popular CEO.

elon made a website asking for his fifty billion dollars back https://www.supportteslavalue.com

lol

yeah i mean what's tesla without the musk cult? makers of kinda boring looking and somewhat overpriced EV cars and potentially one of the biggest disasters automotive history in the cybertruck?

when they originally agreed to give him the $50b it was tied to extremely unlikely future stock gains, then the stock went nuts, now he wants that money straight up, why would anyone agree to give it to him its very silly hes trying to extort them by saying hell work more at his other companies if he doesnt get it but hes already doing that, if owning 10% of the company already doesnt motivate him to actually work there why will another fifty billion, the whole situation is absurd, they should just give me the money to work on secret projects

rip institutional bulls. just the cranks now.

We were correct to reduce our $TSLA position from 12.2% in Sept 2022 to 2.7% today because of our concern about deteriorating fundamentals. In hindsight we should have sold our entire $TSLA position rather than kept a small % of it. We were right that cutting prices wouldn’t… https://t.co/bAP97xDIdO

thats good the cranks can buy all the stock then vote to give elon his fifty billion back

We don’t care about reality, we believe

After all those hours of conversations with bulls, you still don't get it, Gary. It's not that you're wrong, it's just that those things don't matter much to us.
True bulls are invested for >10-20 yrs. We are not traders, we are investors in the greatest entrepreneur of all time.

For over a decade Bernie Madoff looked like the smartest, most successful investor on Wall Street and wealthy people clamored to be allowed to participate in hedge fund. It was like owning a license to print money.

All the crypto HODLs said exactly the same thing

deliveries down (by 20%? time) to cut the workforce (also by 20%)!

*invoices for $56b*

*some of that's for editing my own posts*

we shuold see if we can sell ilx to elon for $44b

more like $44burbbhrbhbbhbburbbb

$77B

Is Tesla inflating odometer to show more range, ding lessors with over miles and duck repairs under warranty? As I return my leased Model Y I noticed the odometer is off by 20% vs my Lexus RZ. Turns out other Tesla owners have a similar concern. Is Musk gaming the Tesla odometer? https://t.co/jM8Pmf6U1D pic.twitter.com/h4BB0iiar6

thats really messed up

if true at those inflation rates that’s funny for simply being so obviously catchable. i mean car nerds can be pretty merciless with their personal data capture imo. in fact one reason i def doubt these q’s is that it woulda been caught long ago?
