@arstechnica peut-être l’attitude d’Elon Musk détourne-t-elle certains de Tesla ?

KellicTiger, 7 months ago

@arstechnica The minute Musk leaves Tesla, and they up their quality control game to align with industry standards is the minute I get a Tesla. Until that happens, which the latter might happen, The former never will....... I wouldn't touch a Tesla even if you paid me to take one and I'm not kidding on that.

@arstechnica wait, why is this a problem? I thought this was what we wanted!

@arstechnica things that happen when your build quality is shit and people find out despite making your product owners sign ndas.

Then there's the solar innovation from the Dutch. (Article below👇)
Or, the mileage revelation from
Fisker Ocean 360 mile EV Car range (this one is real not like Tesla's).
Musk owned the EV market, now his obsession with other things has put Tesla at risk. 🤷

Lots of valid reasons, but longterm Tesla will lose out on styling alone. Compared to what's hitting the market now, Tesla has some blah vehicles at best. And have you seen that "Cybertruck"? 🤣

@arstechnica tesla should be losing market share because the face of the company is a nazi.

@arstechnica they are gaining market share in the overall car market. EVs are not a separate market from ICEVs. #cars

Tesla just dropped sedan prices to compete with Toyota’s. I’d still buy anything else but a Tesla.

"Tesla sold 156,621 cars in Q3 and 493,513 cars in 2023 to date"

Weird. How does that match up with Tesla's claim to have delivered more than 400,000 vehicles every quarter this year, including Q3?
https://ir.tesla.com/press-release/tesla-vehicle-production-deliveries-and-date-financial-results-webcast-third-quarter-2023

You reported on their Q2 as if the deliveries were sales:
"The automaker built 479,700 electric vehicles during the period, delivering 466,140. Selling those cars brought in $21.3 billion in revenue"

Ah I think today's piece was US market only, and Tesla sells a lot of vehicles outside the US market

@arstechnica I really want my next car to be an EV and until recently I thought it would be a Tesla. With all the nonsense and fail surrounding Musk I am no longer interested in driving anything any of his companies make.

@arstechnica Since Tesla flooded an empty market, this is the natural response to a newly opened sector. Seriously, more choices for everyone. Dopey headlines.
