What's the future of the Electric Truck/SUV market?

I would rather own stock in a company with double digit growth and double digit profit margin, than a company with negative growth and/or negative profit margin.

Number of units sold is not the only consideration in the company's value.

Then you should be seriously questioning Tesla's business model. Musk claims that you can buy a $25k robotaxi that will generate $30k in profit per year. If this is true, then why on EARTH wouldn't Tesla go into the taxi business rather than selling their cars? They could generate FAR more revenue by operating the service themselves, but instead they're going to let the cars go for a fraction of their lifetime profit potential?

We don't really need to go down the rabbit hole, and I know you're just trolling around, so I'll pass.

Sure, but to be fair, is Tesla fit and finish really that inferior to Ford, GM, Stellantis (asking for a friend)? I think part of it is that as they keep raising prices, they are compared to similarly priced brands (Audi/BMW/Mercedes), but they aren't a luxury brand or purport themselves to be. People are currently willing to pay Audi/BMW/Merc prices for a Ford like interior because of the rest of the experience.

Their margins allow them to lower prices back down to be on par with their true competition, which could just squeeze the life out of them if they also don't create efficiencies to drop prices as well.

Trolling? Get real.
So if someone has a opinion different from you, then we are trolling?
You are sad.
