Is Tesla’s sales slump down to Elon Musk?

Hahah exactly, that's a good one.
-
Its worth the trip
-
Yes, but also their cars are ugly and they were riding high on musk's cult of personality in the first place.
Rivians are better anyway.
-
On top of that his cult following brought Tesla lots of fans too. He made the company all about himself so of course plummeting sales can be tied to his fascism.
-
It's down to poor product quality, safety issues, emerging competitors, and Musk swanning around acting like a bell-end.
-
Yeah, to give the devil his due, Ford really was a genius engineer, both of the car itself (it was made to be maintainable by someone with almost no special tools or expertise) and even more, of the manufacturing process. Too bad he was also a Nazi even before there were Nazis.

The board has close ties to musk. His brother is on the board. That's why they will always pay the guy.

I didnt notice it till your comment but Musks spiral of stupidity lines up with him losing positive social influence. Motherfucker has nothing to fill the void so he is instead chasing higher and higher positions to try to scratch that itch, it matches up pretty well when you use his early publicity stunts as the start, the purchase of Twitter as a midpoint, and now as the current high and your probably right he cant get too much more influence meaning he is probably not far from trying to shoot someone. Lets hope he goes for Trump as a target cause at least then nobody of worth will get hurt.

I don't think they are ugly. The truck is an abomination though.

Absolutely, when he got famous because of Tesla, I think he got high on the attention. But that attention is turning negative now.
He is also very obviously high on power, and as a narcissist he cannot tolerate opposition exactly like Trump.
But the difference is that Musk is losing control, I think that was also what happened when he did the heiling, he was so high on himself he ignored all concepts of being cautious. -
Exactly. They have a consistent and unique design aesthetic, are reasonably specious, and quite aerodynamic.
And then there's the Cybertruck, which is none of those things and sticks out like a sore thumb.
