Toxicology reports came back on Angela Chao who drowned on her 900 acre ranch after reversing her $TSLA into a lake (after a Pitbull concert) and her BAC was 0.233 (vs TX legal limit 0.08), Elon must be elated it wasn't a vehicle error.

I thought they only came in stainless steel. (Until I got to Montana, I thought Tesla cars only came in white, but I've seen blue and red ones around here.)

White was for several years the only Tesla color that wasn't $1,000-$2,500 extra cost which made it more popular. Black was originally the one no-extra-cost color; now it appears that grey is.
― Lee626, Sunday, 24 March 2024 23:12 (six months ago) link
it's not the reason, but it'd be funny if the unfinished look was meant to be a prompt for people to wrap or paint their own vehicles because Elon refuses to let them do an interesting color on the other models

I mean you have to go back to pre-pandemic to find a time when people were actually excited about Tesla, all they've done since are self-driving features which don't work and the dumbest looking truck in the history of trucks

What are you talking about, everyone knows that looking at your phone while you're driving is only dangerous because the screens are so small. This solves the problem by making the screen the size of a small TV, if you can't easily read that wall of text while you're driving, maybe get better glasses, grandpa.

Bathtub curve. Failures tend to occur either right away or much later on. It’s under warranty, they’ll fix it. I’ve owned a non-Tesla that drove off the lot with a critical drivability issue.— CakeLasers (@CakeLasers) April 1, 2024

Tesla Inc. suffered its first year-over-year sales drop since the early days of the Covid pandemic.
Tesla handed over 386,810 vehicles in the first three months of 2024, the company said in a statement Tuesday. That fell well short of analysts’ average estimate for 449,080 deliveries. The stock fell 7% in early New York trading.

some marketing company saying as much fwiw
According to a recent survey by corporate reputation management platform Caliber, as first reported by Reuters, the carmaker's reputation is plunging in part due to Musk's off-putting and problematic behavior, putting off potential buyers.
