Elunatic--Tesla going down the toilet

I've said this before, but I just do not understand why Elon took on this far right persona. The customer base that made Tesla into what it was were people looking for a slick looking car that was also good for the environment. Does he really think that's the MAGA dolts he's trying so hard to impress? Maybe it's the salesman in me, but I feel like business 101 teaches you not to piss off your core customer base. Idk man, seems weird to me.
It does make sense that he has to sell cheaper cars now that he has the white trash base

What have I missed this afternoon? I saw something that said Tesla missed earnings, but TSLA stock is up +16.69 (11.54%) so far after hours.
After hours include trades that are being settled from normal hours and very little trade volume. Therefore, there look like big swings but usually not.

I didn't pay much attention to him until he bought Twitter. From what I understand, he went off the deep end when one of his kids went trans.




That and his feelings got hurt by a few on the far left giving him shit.

My guess is the Afrikaaner crazy was always percolating under the surface.

Pressure
Pushin' down on me
Pressin' down on you,
no man ask for

Under pressure
that brings a building down
Splits a family in two,
puts people on streets
 
People tend to forget the federal government loaned Tesla $465M in 2009, that wasn't an official bailout, but kept Tesla afloat. Tesla paid back the loan, and flourished, but would not be where they are without that loan.

Incorrect, Daimler made an investment. That saved the company during 08-09.

The DOE loan was an investment loan for electric cars available to all automakers. Tesla paid back that loan several years early, in full, with interest. The US Gov made money on that loan.

So, you’re welcome, US taxpayer?

GM still owes something like $200B from 2008. That may be as of a year or two ago though.
 
Not just missed, largest decrease in revenue -- they are at 2012 revenue levels. I guess the market is excited about Tesla's push to sell cheaper cars.

Lies. How ****ing dumb are you people?

Read these sentences again more slowly.

“The electric vehicle manufacturer posted $21.3bn in revenue, lower than the $21.48bn that was estimated and a 9% drop year over year – marking its biggest decline since 2012. Profit was $1.1bn, a 55% decline from the first quarter of 2023, the company said.”


Q1 2024 Revenue was $21.3 Billion.

Q1 2012 Revenue was $30 Million.


Read a ****in book idiot.

Guardian looked for some random statistic to throw into the article to make it look as bad as possible and you didnt understand what they even meant. then come here and make yourself look like a jackass. Weird way to spend a Tuesday afternoon.
 
Funny to see this thread on the board and the most recent post almost always says “phenomenally frantastic, 1 minute ago.” He’s almost become a Flanderized version of himself.

Surprised @Phenomenally Frantastic hasnt spammed this thread to let us know the performance trim of the newly redesigned model 3 was released.

It is a truly incredible product.



“New Model 3 Performance launching today 🏎️

→ tesla.com/model3-perform…

0-60 mph in 2.9
510 hp / 741 Nm
163 mph top speed


Performance-tuned chassis
Same quiet & comfortable cabin plus bespoke chassis hardware for improved stiffness and higher performance baseline.

More power, lower energy consumption
New Performance 4th gen drive unit can deliver:

+22% continuous power
+32% peak power
+16% peak torque

compared to previous Model 3 Performance. All with lower total energy consumption!

Forged & staggered 20" wheels + Pirelli P Zero 4 tires
Better traction out of corners while limiting traction control interventions.

Also, better comfort, lower rolling resistance & increased range.

Better Track Mode
Track Mode V3 now integrates motor controls, suspension controls, powertrain cooling, & our Vehicle Dynamics Controller (VDC) under a single, unified system.

This gives you a more predictable, stable & consistent experience in various track environments.

New Adaptive Damping system
Adjusts to driver & road inputs in real time to optimize ride & handling, while also improving ride comfort.

Controlled via in-house software, which means it keeps improving via future over-the-air software updates.

Ask the same question of any US car company.

As MJ famously said " Republicans buy sneakers too"

Elon knew that democrats bought the majority of his cars but went out of his way to alienate them anyway.
Ego will destroy guys like Elon.
This is the problem. My Tesla model 3 performance is a great car. The interior trim is medicore. However my wife wants an electric car now and is looking at the Volov Ex90. She hates Elon. I told her he is just the CEO and most of his net worth is company stock. I said ignore him and his grandstanding. You get a good quality car made in the US. She said I don't want to support him and will buy a Volvo. I told her she would send all her money overseas to Swedish workers so they can live better rather than support our neighbors. She said, "Yes, that's how much I hate him."
 
That cannot be real. Is it? If it is, his liver is failing. You see those "scratches" on his abdomen. That usually is a sign of liver going bye bye. Wow. This cannot be real.

Or body surfing. Have you ever been to the beach?

you cannot understand it because he never did take it on. he is euro-leftist.

I am far right maga and nobody I know in my camp thinks he's far right.

he was assigned this label by the far left media, which is often wrong.

there is a documentary from the obama years that shows him trying to be more lefty socialist than obama.
buying twitter means nothing as far as left-right
