Tesla's value plunged nearly $200 billion since mid-July – and the EV maker faces a bumpy road ahead::Tesla shares closed Tuesday at just over $233, well down on their 2023 peak of $291.

tesla's are shit cars and cars are fuckn awful for the environment so its the creme dela creme of a shit stain. some people actually think they're doing the environment a good thing buying a new car instead of demanding public transportation/or at least buy something used to literally stop killing the earth.

like seriously you think you're doing something to help the environment by buying a new car from a elon fucken musk? like you do realise tesla lobbys against public transporation? You know something that would actually help the environment.

like he's literally a car salesman and you dupes were suckered into it like a fucken simpsons monorail

Where I live, no amount of anything is going to get me away from a car. Even if I had a billion dollars to invest, I couldn't get rid of the need for a car, for at least 10 years. It's a nice position to take, but completely devoid from reality.

I agree in regards to public transport in cities of a resonable size and between them. Outside bigger cities, it simply isn't a workable solution. Fact is that a lot of our modern society is built around cars. It's not easy to change that.

BEV's will certainly not save the world from climate change, but they are a lot better than ICE vehicles and since we aren't getting rid of vehicles, it's a lot better if they are BEV's. Hate Elon Musk as much as you like (I likely wouldn't disagree with you), but you can't ignore that Tesla arguably has pushed forward the transition to BEV's.
