I'm surprised anyone ever fell in love with Telsa. Even before Musk's political turn, he always struck me as an untrustworthy liar (aptly demonstrated by the "Full Self Driving" fiasco), which always made me wary of anything he was associated with.
Nothing is going to turn this train wreck around. Tesla vehicles are dated, uncomfortable, fit and finish are questionable. Cyber truck sales are falling off a cliff, and his competition is killing it. These vehicles, including robots, are just hardware. The Chinese are light years ahead, and the whole thing is just not going to end well for the company at these valuations, and this isn't even addressing the fact that he is the face of MAGA along with Trump.<p>The best thing Musk can do is disappear, maybe go to Mars or something for a while...
> Elon Musk is right to shift his focus back to carmaking<p>No. The damage to Tesla's reputation has already been done, and the only way to fix it is for the board to fire Elon Musk as CEO.<p>> Listings for the Model 3 have increased by 63%; those for the Model Y have rocketed by 80%. The pattern can be seen in both left-leaning states, such as Massachusetts and New York, and right-leaning ones, such as Indiana and South Carolina.<p>Many Democrats live in red states and many Republicans live in red states. It may be true that Republicans are selling their Teslas in increasing numbers, but this isn't a convincing argument. Even in a red state, I would expect EV owners to be mostly Democrats.
