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.
