Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car

That's only half the truth though. The main reason why they're so cheap is because they manufacture everything in the supply chain themselves. Everything. They have their own mines for their resources, they make their own batteries (which they've been doing for ages), they make their own electronics, they make their own software etc.
They also have a completely different mindset. For them they are rolling electrical devices with some software. They don't need the knowhow of the traditional car manufacturers.
And then they bought the Audi designer along with his entire team to make the cars look good.Yes, there are efficiencies since all the tech is pretty close, but that pales in comparison to the sheer dollars injected into the industries. 231 billion dollars. Compare that to the 2nd closest investment into a car manufacturer which is the USA at 30 billion.
Each one of these new 500+ car manufacturers produced cars at a loss. Not because efficiencies. Because of subsidies. In some cases, not even sold at all. https://youtu.be/vplPmxVRcnk
Here in Taiwan, we get unfiltered China news.

put 6k miles on my EV9 so far and loving it, much roomier than model Y
Yeah, Kia EV6 is on my list, but I haven't gotten around to test driving it yet. EV9 seems way too big for our needs.

Someone downvoted you. Just wanted to say, that said person is a moron.
Oh it's more than just someone, that post has -3 and the other one is -6.
Talking about Tesla against the narritive/hivemind always results in this.

Looking through the comments, this is a troll account

And people say lemmy doesn't have ads.
At least it still has the same low effort comments as Reddit.

I mean, you even get rust on brakes in PHEVs. It's normal and not much of a problem.

From a musk pov it's 100% logical. Money.
Why? Win2k was quite stable. Stable enough to use it in warships.
Linux/Bsd is not free. When you use it in your company you want pro support. That support comes free with windows enterprise licenses. So the cost difference there is almost non existent. And, MS being M$, they would've sweetened the deal. A lot. Just think of the marketing worth of this deal for MS.
And lastly:
Who is cheaper? A good linux admin or a windows guy?So 90% of the stability at 50% of the cost. That's not a bad deal.
If that was true, Linux would have died a long ago.

Even worse is, he can use the government to sabotage the competition, as Russia and Hungary did.
The thing is, if this follows the Hungary script, Musk is going to become replaceable.
He doesn't command votes like Trump does, but is rich enough to be a threat. Look up Simicska.
