He called the guy that saved those kids a pedo. He's the same Elon as always.

No, he really began to change during Covid, Small changes at first that I sort of over looked and gave him the benefit of the doubt on, but they have gotten more and more egregious.

Covid seemed to have a big affect on some people, My own father went through a similar change as Elon during that time. I put it down to people being in lock downs where their only contact with the outside world was their social media echo chamber.

This is what I need to pick it back up at $150.

Going to be interesting if their sales ever pick up, he's clearing burnt off his client base.

They can't even sell the things secondhand in Chicago, and China was a big uptake at one stage, but they have their own cars now.

President Trump can help Tesla.

The new Tesla is going to be lower cost and much cheaper than its overseas competitors due to tariffs.

Trump can call it "The People's Car Project" and use this program to make further advances. Creating an inexpensive EV for the public.

To get the styling right, they should consider getting Porche involved. They have experience in this type of concept car previously.

Meh... it's a targeted campaign online.
In the end people have short memories.

I view this as a potential opportunity. Obviously I'll run figures and social data.
Leftists are hive minded fools. They are just going through the 5 stages of grief.

If needed they can use armed cyber trucks to liberate their American speaking neighbors to the North.

The Hitler regime did a lot of bad things to humanity in its days, I have European heritage and have heard many cruel stories. It's something the world, including Germans want to put behind them.

I don't think the Lefties will forget all the defunding that Trump has done to them, and it also goes against democracy.

Trump's playing straight out of the corporate world, get rid of anyone that has any type of opposing views, divide and conquer.

Chicagoans Ditch Their Teslas To Protest Elon Musk: ‘Nobody Wants To Buy Them’​

Several protests have popped up outside a Chicago Tesla dealership, and one Cybertruck owner says he’s flipped off regularly. Those looking to ditch the vehicles are out of luck as well — car sellers say they can’t offload them.

CHICAGO — Skylar Damiano went from owning a Tesla to spitting on them.

The Humboldt Park resident would take his 2022 Tesla Model Y on roadtrips from Detroit to Dollywood — but he finally had enough of Elon Musk by President Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day, when the Tesla CEO made what appeared to be a Nazi salute.

Damiano promptly traded in his Tesla, the first car he owned, for another electric vehicle at a “huge loss,” he said. That suburban dealership told Damiano nine people came in trying to offload Teslas in just two weeks, he said.

“Teslas used to be cool,” said Damiano, who long wanted an electric vehicle but slapped an “Elon Musk F—ing Sucks” bumper sticker on the car after Musk transformed Twitter into a conservative social media platform. “He’s done a lot of damage to what EVs could have been. My friends were embarrassed to be seen near my car. The least I could do was get rid of it before it becomes an actual hazard for me with vandalism or harassment.”

Once a brand gets a smell of death, it's hard to turn around.
Remember Goldstar? Had a lousy name for low quality.
Relaunched as LG.

Remember SAAB?
Very successful at one stage.

RC Cola? Lost the cola wars to Coke and Pepsi.

Apple was a comeback story after wallowing for years. Jobs was a bit of a prck as well.

It’s funny how Apple’s “comeback” only really happened after Tim Cook was hired in 1998 … co-incidence maybe

A friend of mine said they saw a Tesla that had been disguised with Audi symbols (the four rings) and with Tesla symbols removed.

Audi? Only slightly worse than a Beemer.

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere on ASF.

Came across this very recent YT vid re. self driving cars comparing Tesla's camera only vs LIDAR technologies. There are just too many takeaways from this vid and best left to the viewer to discern.

From the posters blurb:

Tesla’s Autopilot failed spectacularly in these tests—and Mark Rober just showed exactly why. With Musk now influencing safety regulators, how confident are you feeling about Tesla's self-driving future?

For balance I note and as posted 8 Mar 2024 on The Verge
Reads in part:

Tesla bought over $2 million worth of lidar sensors from Luminar this year​

Elon Musk previously dismissed the laser sensor as a ‘crutch’ and said that any company relying on lidar to power self-driving was ‘doomed.’
Well, apparently Tesla is stocking up on crutches.

Me thinks Rober would've sort legal advice before posting, fool if he didn't but oh boy, how one loves the shenanigans!

Great find. I have seen much criticism for Tesla for not using Lidar and relying on camera technology.
Much more chance now that they will be able to develop the driverless car.

People rebadging their car with a Volkswagen logo because they are not Nazis..the irony must be lost on them anyway....

Longer term it will be interesting to see where it goes but online Musk is just getting hammered suspect the Musk factor price has come off Tesla share price

Yeah it's brilliant. Cheap stock and 2nd hand cars.

It was a setup. Roper getting hosed as a fraud right now.

So is Austin Russell Luminar. Looks like he paid $4mill if true.
The stock ramped as well. Wonder if they will be liable for some type of fraud.
