It’s because he is a Nazi. Nobody should support a Nazi.

I'm kinda on board for the arson as well.
There are a lot of people who don't give a shit about who they support if they can get a car for cheap. But if that car brings the with it the risk of being set on fire or just generally vandalised then maybe that would make self serving cunts rethink their purchase as well.Weird to say, but trash new teslas

I wonder if Tesla will be considered a good car brand in 100 years, like how Volkswagen is today.

Not just a Nazi, but a chickenshit Nazi.
If you're gonna be a Nazi, be one. Don't deny it after you're noticed.

Someone tell that to the stock price.

Check the 3 month view, it's down 41%. If anything the downward trend with a high daily volatility is demonstrating how poor the stock is doing

I think it would require massive changes from the top down:
- New CEO
- New Board of Directors
- Focus on quality over stupid gimmicks like fart mode
- Focus on existing issues over self-driving moonshot that’s been promised & delayed for close to a decade now.
And so on…

People have disassociated the idea of buying stock as support for a company--they just treat it like a game. Not to mention all the amoral index fund managers who control most people's investments.

Yea the real issue is that it's in the indexes. Can't not buy it in that case.

I saw a clip from some TV station, with someone claiming people should buy Tesla now, because it will never get this cheap again.
And then he raved on about how Musk was a tech genius, who would make Tesla a robot/ai company.Idiots like that cannot be helped. Even if Musk succeeds with AI which is unlikely, chances are slim that it will be Tesla that benefit from it. Robotaxi is not even close. And chances are that Musk ruined the chance for Tesla to actually compete on it, when he decided against using lidar.
Unless Tesla cook the books for Q1 2025, Tesla stock is likely to take another huge nosedive when the financial report comes out.
Sales have plummeted violently, so unless they book the cars on storage at unrealistically high values, the result for Q1 will probably be in the red. -

I keep seeing these numbers from Europe, but have yet to see North America numbers. I'm curious to see if sales are tanking in the US even harder.

I believe you missed the joke. He is referencing WW2 and the involvement of Volkswagen.

I was referring to Tesla sales in the US, not just the stock price. I keep seeing how sales are down X% in Germany or Y% in the UK, but even during their last quarterly meeting, I don't recall hearing anything about their US numbers.
