I think that’s a big part of it, but even putting him and all his BS aside, they haven’t really done much innovating in years. In the mid '10s it seemed like they were making big gains in manufacturing and following up the success of the Model S with the X, Y, and 3 as well as developing the gigafactory and things like the powerwall. Since probably 2019 though, they’ve just been spinning their wheels and stagnating on things like autonomy and building the Cybertruck with no real gain to show for it.
I imagine it won’t be long before he’s ousted though as it provides a convenient scape goat for everything along with shedding dead weight who’s main appeal previously was being outspoken online and “a disruptor” before everything turned to right wing politics.
The guy deserves all sorts of crap for the way he runs his mouth (and so do we all for putting him on that pedestal), but come on ….
Since 2019
incorporates a heat pump for the first time
new batteries
gigacasting
new factories and huge scale up
pushed NACS as the new charger standard
Sure the vehicles look similar but there’s still huge innovation …… except that Cybertruck. If ever there was a good time for them to just let something drop to obscurity, it would be when that had so much trouble and Rivian and Ford beat them to release
Cooling demand… Let’s call it what it is. People don’t like Musk since he’s a fucking piece of shit nazi, so they don’t want to buy his car.
I’ve said it a bunch, I wanted a Tesla but I couldn’t afford it. Now that I can afford it, I will not buy a Tesla solely because of Musk.

Yeah because heat pumps are new technology. It’s a reversible air conditioner is what it is.
If he was ousted I would buy one just to spite him.
Nah, I wouldn’t, but I imagine a big uptick in sales after he got the boot would do detrimental harm to his ego.
He would still own a massive share of the stock
True
Personally I’m not buying a Tesla because I want a car that I can actually be fixed occasionally
There’s always a way. You might have to buy used parts, but there’s always a way. I’m not buying one because musk is a fuck.
A fuck stick, a Musk stick, A stick to fuck, I’m fucking sick, Musk suck a dick.
