The Austin, Texas company’s shares are down 12.4% this week and more than 39% this year.Shares of Tesla Inc. last traded for $150 in January 2023.

Most ev makers do a lot of “recalls” but 90% of those are over the air software updates. This is different.

soap made the pedal fly off while youre driving
“an unapproved change introduced lubricant (soap) to aid in the component assembly of the pad onto the accelerator pedal,” and that “residual lubricant reduced the retention of the pad to the pedal.”

We used lubricant instead of glue to attach your accelerator. Oopsie!

Just popped over to check out a Tesla investors forum. Usually they are neutral at worst, because it's all about the $$$, but they seem pretty down on Musk. They'd prefer he be out at the company, and they for sure wish he was not posting all the time, which they believe (and they may be right) directly correlates with the poor operation of the company. Not just because people now conflate twitter/Tesla/Musk with right-wing trolling, but because Musk himself is so impulsive and unable to control himself. Personally, I say fuck 'em all, but I wonder if Musk left Tesla (which I don't see happening) and a "normal" CEO were brought on board, could the company turn things around again? Or would it, too, become so "normal" that it would keep fading?

it's funny seems like a lifetime ago but I remember when Tesla was seen as this vaguely liberal yet luxury eco friendly signifier
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 19 April 2024 13:20 (four months ago) link
its funny/ironic cuz using soap on the install is probably exactly the kind of ‘hack’ that elon was probably pushing internally back when he was ‘sleeping at the factory’ to make more model 3s or w/e
― 龜, Friday, 19 April 2024 13:30 (four months ago) link
That's how we can tell that either this is the real Musk, or he is mentally ill (or both), because he seemed to have a good thing going for him and fucked it all up, apparently intentionally. Bezos, I'm sure he's a huge twat, but he seems to have the sense to keep his mouth shut. Trump, he used to have this vague liberal veneer to him, too, and yeah, he's gone full heel as well, but he is old and was always a stupid asshole.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 19 April 2024 13:32 (four months ago) link
with Bezos its kind of a "don't hate the player hate the game" situation, he's doing the kind of shit you might expect from an obscenely wealthy person. meanwhile Elon spends all his time being a terrible reactionary shitposter like any number of Nazi losers, who are either getting paid for it or are teeangers. Elon is neither, in fact he's like actively losing billions of dollars doing this shit

the sheer number and variety of problems and defects that have surfaced in cybertrucks so far based on this incredibly small sample size...i can't quite wrap my brain around it
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 19 April 2024 16:15 (four months ago) link
i don't know that Tesla can fully recover, i think that specific design on the main fleet is pretty tiresome to a lot of people and at some point if you're driving a white tesla and you're at a stoplight with six other white teslas, it's a little embarrassing, and there are other better looking EVs out there now.
― omar little, Friday, 19 April 2024 16:16 (four months ago) link
just out of curiosity i looked it up and Ford sold 750,789 F-150s in 2023
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 19 April 2024 16:16 (four months ago) link
it's still a hot-shit vehicle to own to a certain degree but it doesn't feel like a long-term respectable brand, and i think the cybertruck is such an ugly failure it shows a company that doesn't have a clue.
― omar little, Friday, 19 April 2024 16:17 (four months ago) link
Cybertruck seems destined to be the Pinto of this generation, known solely for people dunking on it. though it's way more expensive which makes it a lot more embarrassing
― frogbs, Friday, 19 April 2024 16:25 (four months ago) link
and yeah Tesla's reputation has cratered in a way I've never really seen, I mean I remember people getting all stoked just for the chance to ride in one, now the main thing I hear is "they're kinda ugly aren't they?". Elon himself isn't helping by being a total embarrassment, it's not even like a party line thing as it is with Trump, he only appeals to a specific type of incel Nazi
― frogbs, Friday, 19 April 2024 16:27 (four months ago) link
would be funny if the next gen teslas just copied the hyundai evs which prob have the best ev design language right now

Anecdotal data from my city, I've only seen 2 (TWO) Cybertrucks of ~10 that were not on the back of a tow truck = 20% not being towed (for being inoperable or parked illegaly, I know not).
