Instead, Musk is allegedly “all in on robotaxi,”
So instead of trying to compete with BYD, they are leaving that space open for Chinese domination, and instead they are trying to catch up to the Waymo-Uber-Lyft race where Tesla has not even tried to compete yet.
To me, it just seems that Musk just doesn’t believe in market capitalism and competition. Or that he’s exceptionally terrible at it.
They’ll scream and cry for protectionist policy once they lose the lower end of the market. Musk has one superpower and it’s looting the public for his own benefit.
So Tesla’s entire strategy Elon was working was just abandoned.
Continues down the pathway that Tesla is just going to fade to irrelevance.
Already has.
Judging by the amount of their vehicles I’m seeing on the roads I’m suspecting they’re going to fade into irrelevance like iPhones have.
Its not a like for like comparison. People change car brands all the time, there is very little environment or peripherals to be tied to.
in fairness they did get their charging cord to be made the standard for North America. Not sure what power that confers them but it has to be worth something.
It happened to Blackberry, everyone had one of those until iPhone came out. IBM used to be the most common PC brand. Everyone used to drive minivans. Markets shift all the time.
Probably couldn’t figure out a way to make the ‘2’ serve as a ‘Z’ in a 1337, sophomoric sex pun, so… that’s the end of that project.
S3XZY?
This only serves to make me think you’re smarter than Elon Musk.
Musky can’t make a car that cheap. That’s why.
that’s fine, they have the perfect alternative, the cybertruck. /s
China gonna dominate that price bracket and lower no need to enter a market you cant compete in
Tesla makes cars in China too.
Loads of companies do, doesnt mean they can compete at that price point.
hell I’m pretty sure its impossible to make these cars without some amount of electronics fabricated in china
All those that claim this market belongs to China, Tesla already has production in China, and can use all the same benefits Chinese companies can. Including government subsidies.
Tesla needs to make a certain substantial profit margin, same problem as Apple’s car project. BYD will sell at a loss for years to monopolize like Amazon/Walmart etc.
Outside companies almost never get the same benefits as local ones, that’s true even outside of china. Another thing is that china has national interests in chinese carmakers.
So long as they keep the Chinese government happy. That’s a big lever China has on Musk.
BYD has a level of vertical integration far beyond anyone else in the industry.
Lol
I guess he’s finally lost it completely.
Gotta have it to lose it.

I don’t think you’ve actually read any of the comments in this thread. Everything is a legit discussion of EVs and how Musk is handling this. Nobody is bashing China. If anyone is being criticized in this thread, it’s Musk.
