This is actually a good thing, since they're going to make Tesla a lot of money once they're self-driving.
Full self driving in 2017! Wait, sorry 2018. Okay, 100% we will have FSD in 2019. Actually 2020. 2021? No? Soon(TM) is the new release date.

Hate is a bad phenomenon. I even see signs in my neighborhood saying stuff like "hate has no home here". Maybe try to tamper it down a bit?
If your moral development is at the level where you need to use neighborhood yard signs to make your argument, should you really be trying to educate people on the internet yet?

Are you really comparing race-based hatred to extreme disdain for a company more parasitic than tapeworms? Is that actually what you are saying? "Corportations are people too, and can experience racism as well!" Certified YCombinator moment.
Why do you think Tesla is more parasitic than tapeworm? Didn't it start EV revolution? Or are you projecting your hatred of Elon on Tesla ?

#25One would be in my driveway but we cancelled it right when it was about to be delivered when Elon began his decline into madness. Know your audience and your buyers man. Maybe hide your alt right nonsense when your buyers love the earth and the environment.

#26The figures quoted here are old, since EV sales have gotten a massive boost from spiking oil prices. The actual figures aren't out yet but anecdotal evidence at least in Australia suggests sales in March (across all brands, not just Tesla) doubled from February. That said, for Tesla this is only a bandaid, since they have absolutely nothing in the consumer pipeline beyond the current increasingly uncompetitive offeri…
It was always about first mover advantage and never about building a sustaining car manufacturer. It was about moving an industry.

Obviously the oil spike, while not a relatively massive price hike historically, is clearly accelerating the pace of electrification, similarly to how COVID accelerated the use of zoom and other remote work platforms. But also similarly, it will probably be the case that gas is still used for some needs, just not nearly as many as today. People still do prefer their gas ranges, and its not as if natural gas is a great pollutant. But electricity is easier to manage than ever now, given battery capacity.

#29This is all so frustrating. Tesla could have easily been an American auto maker generational success story. Instead they’re working hard to undermine their own success, turn their brand toxic, and even design vehicles that are unappealing to key purchasing demographics (Cybertruck).
no worries, when things go hard and stock goes down they can count on Trump for a convenient war and oil crisis.

Yes, Elon's trajectory has been absolutely unbelievable since 2019 or so. Talk about a guy who cratered his whole reputation. It's a shame.
