Always good to have a VP handy for occasions like these. Seriously though I want Tesla to do well just like I want all American companies to do well. I actually invested in Tesla in the early days. I agree that Elon has his fair share of blame for the decline but it's also a lot to do with BYD doing so well. On a fundamental level, the product is being challenged in a way that it never has. I wish Tesla well.
I wish Tesla well, too, which is why I wish EM would step away from the company and focus on his other priorities. I suspect he would never accept that Tesla could do better without him than with him.
Agree but not sure he will. He's a brilliantly flawed man. Im not a fan but cant deny what he has achieved. I'm not sure if I had that level of success that I would be able to let go.
With all due respect, cannot disagree more on this statement.
I think your opinions are based on what he did for Tesla and how he acted as the leader of Tesla. Mine are based on what he’s doing to Tesla currently and how he’s behaving as the leader of Tesla. I’m not talking about politics at all. When I mentioned his other priorities I was thinking of SpaceX/StarLink and Mars colonization. These seem to be his passions to me.
It’s all about the ride quality and noise my man. It’s pretty great. Cheap you say? Have you pressed a Gen 2 Rivian’s window switch? Lol. The base model Pacifica blows that out of the water in terms of quality lol
Tried that absurdity, stupidity called Rivian MFA?
Well, it's what life taught me in corporate America: your job colleagues, your company is not your family, and the ciompany can lay your behind off anytime, and replace you with someone just as good or better. Or with nobody at all. The collective staff is instrumental to the success of a company,but what is true of the whole never will be true of the part.
I have a Gen 2 tri Ascend, and the interior stands up to the Range Rover I was looking at as a comparison. Nothing in there feels very cheap, but the Ascend switches have a premium feel to them. Also my tri is quieter than my wife's '24 BMW.
I absolutely don’t hate Tesla but I don’t think EM has been doing Tesla any favors recently. I expect that Tesla will get better and do better right after EM ratchets down his involvement. Then Tesla can behave like a business rather than his hobby to make what he wants regardless of customer desires. I think his shiny ideas of the moment like Falcon wing doors, no instrumentation in front of the driver in the 3 and Y, steering yoke, CyberTruck design, elimination of control stalks are all keeping Tesla from selling more vehicles.
Did you check the Range Rover EV?
Just the regular Range Rover, the EV isn't out yet to my knowledge. Also, the RR EV is expected to start at 180K so it's in quite a different price category than the R1S.
