You know what jacked Bronco sales in the 90s? OJ Simpson car chase. American consumers are idiots.

For as long as I live I’ll never understand how people could see that unveiling where the doofuses on stage hurl a big metal ball at the “bulletproof” glass and watch it crack during the live demo, and still think “Yeah I’ll pre-order one of those”.
Bulletproof glass is actually illegal by US safety standards. In fact, the side windows have to be easy to break by EMTs for emergency extraction.
Musk’s engineers knew this, but were too afraid to tell him before the demo.

Or someone who wants to resell it when they’re done playing it
you mean the days when a $80 game could be resold for $5?

I’m confused. Why does Musk’s behavior matter? Americans only care about money. Epstein…corruption…no one cared until gas got expensive.
Are Tesla sales down because of Fascist salutes? Or because Americans still aren’t buying EVs and the rest of the world has access to cheaper, better EVs?

It’s a $20 stock. The only value in the company is the charging network.

The stock market has always been a mushroom farm. Keep them cool and in the dark, then chop them down.

What are you talking about…VW has made EV Golf and IDs for years now. They are overpriced and unreliable. This isn’t about EVs, it’s about people sick of buying shitty cars on the bullshit German Quality branding.

He ran design meetings high on Ketamine. His engineers had to work around his stupid ideas.
The reason why the glass broke on his demo is because car window glass legally needs to be breakable for emergency rescues, but his engineers were too scared to tell him. Same bullshit went on at DOGE and SpaceX. Invest now!

Don’t be an idiot. Do math. You will save 2K a year in fuel. The Twingo in 93 was 8500 euro or €18300 today.
