Can't repair these things yourself any longer

it is their top selling car, and is a decent enough EV, though overpriced.

The CT makes no sense as it is a commercial failure, but Musk cannot admit that.

I’m all for electric cars, but I hope Tesla and everything Musk touches goes bankrupt.

and I say that as an owner who bought before Musk's drug abuse and social media habit led him to derail into fascism.

since the EVs were making about 95% of the profits.

Wish I could find some "empathy" for those that bought into Musk's con job.

Best car I've ever owned. Over 100k miles with only ~7% battery degradation. Driven it cross-country over two dozen times now without any issues.

I suspect Musk sees the EVs China is producing and doesn't want to make the investment to compete with those manufacturers, especially since Trump is effectively ceding the EV market to the Chinese.

They are built so cheap that they couldn't pass the NTSB's safety requirements.
Canada doesn't have as stringent safety requirements as we do in the U.S.

but then walked away from it. China will come back to haunt him, because his usefulness to China is now over. He stupidly accepted their invitation to build a plant there, ignoring all the obvious sign of a trap. So, he went there, trained all of their production workers on building EVs, basically handed all of Tesla's proprietary tech to them on a silver platter, which China made very good use of.

The Xiaomi SU7 is basically a Model S, with better software, at a Model 3 price point.

More likely is that not enough of them are being sold to justify keeping the line open.

Now, everyone should go watch the movie iRobot.

The redneck dipshits don't want to buy electric cars, and now suburban and affluent urban people don't want to be seen in them.

Pivot?

Musk is an idiot.

that Tesla basically established, to one they are a decade behind in tech, while hemorrhaging engineers to other companies.

Genius.

I've seen many people buy them anyway. It's all fine while it's working but if one of the few parts goes you're left with a worthless hunk of junk.

were a fraternity, folks who would wave to other owners, and meet up with folks in local user groups. Now, anyone driving a CT or a newer 3/Y is given a wide berth.

It was incumbent on Tesla reaching certain profit levels. That's unlikely to happen with them eliminating half their product line and venturing into a questionable field like humanoid robots.

The Chinese build much better robots, and there is no legislative wall keeping them out of our country.

The Cyber-trash-can was bad enough but once he showed his Nazism, Teslas became autos-non-grata.

For years those cars were prized by liberals because they were sort-of eco-friendly. Musk alienated much of his customer base by aligning with Trump. Not a very good business move.

Ooooof!
