How can somebody just shout "they're lying" to get their stock back up and get away with it?
Expect shit they try to bury in the election news cycle
Fuck musk.
Musk is a fascist bigot. I wouldn’t drive a Tesla if it was given to me for free. Just walking up to it and seeing that T would piss me off. In a way, I’m glad he refuses to build a cheap EV.
Oh, Musk is way too powerful and totally nuts, he's gone off the deep end. Also he's gone full asshole, there's hardly anything redeemable about him these days.
That said, I'd drive any car that was given to me for free, and I won't pretend otherwise.
Also, despite Musk, Tesla has done amazing things for the auto industry, I'm extremely pleased to see this shift to EVs across the board.
Oh, I’d take a free car; but instead of driving it I’d turn around and sell it immediately. Then I’d buy something that wasn’t a badge of shame.
it's easier to raise tariffs so that efficiently produced foreign electric cars are just as expensive. God bless America
"We can't make an affordable Tesla unless we come up with something that would make it too expensive."
Gotcha.
I'm guessing that to him, the only market for the car will be for deliveries. Fleet use. He isn't interested in consumer sales.
Chinese EV it is, then!
Until we tax them ridiculously (50-100%) to keep things "fair" for the american auto makers that refuse to build anything smaller than a chevorlet suburban.
This is why hes suddenly against it, theres no way Chinese EVs are coming stateside, and the US is even leveraging Mexico to keep them out of Mexico too. He doesn't want to make the smaller profit margin thing everyone wants, because the government is just going to ban what everyone wants instead.
Along with European, Japanese, and South Korean automakers. Nobody is building EVs this cheap because no other country's government is dumping hundreds of billions of dollars into selling them well below their actual cost.
Aww that's so sad. It's a shame nobody has the economic wealth and power to absolutely dominate the market if they put a equal amount of money into EVs. I guess we'll just have to keep spending our money on the military

Correct, because Uncle Sam is spending hundreds of billions of dollars to make oil and gas as cheap as possible while automakers spend bullions every year on stock buybacks. America's poor investments are all China's fault.

Those automakers are at least trying to compete by building small cars. I see more ads for electric f150s than i see for compact cars in north america.
The profit margins are insane compared to sedans.

Every country subsidized their auto industry, it's just that all the benefit goes directly to ceos except in china apparently.
Ford received 9 billion in June.

I so badly just want a tiny electric vehicle. I don't travel much. Just need it to go around town and maybe a town over.
Chevy Bolt? My coworker has one and loves it.
Was looking at it but that's like the $30k range, no? I can't afford a 500/mo payment.
Get a couple year old one then.
If you're on a budget why would you be looking at brand new cars?
China cars are like 3k-5k. I can afford that. Like even one of the China trucks is like 6k-7k or something. I don't mind getting used, I just don't want to spend 30k. Or really even above 10k.
A used Bolt is pretty cheap.

They still don't have fully autonomous 100k cars!
