  1. “Can you go to sleep in our cars and wake up at your destination? I’m confident that will be available in many cities in the U.S. by the end of this year.”

    Get back to me when Tesla is willing to take legal liability for issues that arise when people do this. Until then, keep it off the roads.

    1. Musk’s pride and joy, the Cybertruck, has numerous recalls and didn’t come close to sales targets. He further managed to absolutely torch his company’s brand with the people most likely to want to buy his cars.

      Might have been a smart guy. Achieved some really cool things over the previous couple decades. He’s blown his mind out between being far too online and the ketamine. The only way he will dodge more SEC violations is by destroying the agency.

      https://www.kbb.com/car-news/report-tesla-turning-down-cybertruck-trade-ins/

    1. Yep. Most dealerships are turning them away especially given the current car market, and lack of sales.

    2. that’s with most electric vehicles in general. look at what their resale value is even with just a few miles on them.

  2. Musk is a pathological liar whose only accomplishment is running a decades long Bernie Maddof level scam. The fascinating part is; he conned Democrats for a decade “I’m green!! Environmental hero!” And smoothly transitioned to conning republicans. The supreme irony is the government efficiency guy is someone who you wouldn’t know his name without the billions in taxpayer subsidies his companies collect

    Similar to Trump and Paris Hilton, he is famous for being famous and his celebrity status keeps him above the law.

    Tesla had not come out with a new product in 5 years except for the truck, which is a hilarious disaster. The stock price has been wildly unhinged from reality for decades. The question is; at any point will shareholders and Tesla cucks actually see the emperor is wearing no clothes?

  3. Hopefully Tesla’s profit continues to drop. Musk just makes up empty promises to try to keep the stock price afloat and to keep investors from jumping ship.
