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

If you reuse the truss steel that fell, it could be functioning in 3 to 6 months.The repair should be put to commercial bid with a massive incentive for early and safe completion.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 30, 2024

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.

Brings new meaning to the word "crash." Or I suppose, in this case, potentially brings back the old meaning.

Saw a Cybertruck in the wild today. Well, not "the wild": downtown Kalispell, MT, pulling out of a Starbucks drive-thru. It really does look silly and fake in person, like a bad movie prop, and every dimensional plane (height, length) seems off somehow. The driver, a bro in his mid-thirties, I'd guess, saw my wife and me observing him and smiled sarcastically and waved. We nodded back.

During his deposition, Musk admitted he has a “limited understanding” of the lawsuit against him, said he thought Brody’s attorney was the one suing him, and revealed he did no research in determining whether Brody was involved in the brawl after seeing the accusations on X.
Musk also made broader admissions about his failures with X — which has plummeted in value since his takeover in 2022 — saying he “may have done more to financially impair” the social media site than help it. Musk also confirmed that he once used a burner account on X seemingly to role-play as his toddler son.
