    Terrible build quality ✔️

    Over priced ✔️

    Competition catching up quickly ✔️

    End of Tesla’s monopoly on charging stations✔️

    A terrible looking and expensive failed launch of a brick of steel✔️

    Crazy alt right NEO-NAZI founder who’s actively trying to sink every brand he touches ✔️ mate.

    The look on Elon’s face when it all comes crashing down… Priceless.

      Musk isn’t even Tesla’s founder, BTW. Musk just bought the place.

        This is true but misleading. When Musk invested in Tesla and became chairman of the board, they hadn’t even begun development on a vehicle. They just had an idea and had talked with Lotus. There’s plenty to dislike about Musk. You don’t need to mislead.

      Cars that have never had a style update. Now that they exist in meaningful numbers they look old and tired.

      It’s not an “end of charging station monopoly” when all the companies are partnering with Tesla for its charging station network after failing to set up one for their own.

        That’s a weird way of saying that all manufacturers will from now adhere to the NACS or SAE J3400 charge standard, further breaking down the barriers to locked in–or monopolized–charge networks. It’s also a very weird way of saying that a common charge standard will further diversify stakeholdership in an already pretty diversified charge network stakeholdership ecosystem.

        The plug is becoming a standard. There are still many more stations needed to increase EV usage for people who live in apartments or doing road trips. Not everyone is relying on them for providing charging. It’s sad that they’re the only ones who actually maintain their infrastructure
