Tesla’s value plunged nearly $200 billion since mid-July – and the EV maker faces a bumpy road ahead::Tesla shares closed Tuesday at just over $233, well down on their 2023 peak of $291.

Such a remarkably overvalued company. I’d be surprised if it’s still around in a few decades. Feels like they’re the MySpace of today - they’re big and have first mover advantage but have nothing interesting down the line and newer companies will and are supplanting it.

Tesla surely benefited from being the first to market with a mass scale luxury EV. But they still have SERIOUS quality control issues. And putting all the controls in a touchscreen is a gimmick that has worn off. The major players were slow to catch up, but when they do get products to market, they are more reliable and easier to use.

Tesla is not improving on core issues fast enough, and it is going to cost them in the not-so-distant future. I think we are seeing it already with Hyundai. They are the new EV darling. And I do blame it on Elon Musk. Dude is spread way too thin, and has become way too dysfunctional and delusional to successfully lead any company.

I think you mean Musk’s dysfunctions and delusions have become too public to successfully “lead” any company.

People have been saying this for years now. This site is something else. Top posts related to climate change while at the same time bashing Tesla, the number one producer of EVs and arguably the reason why all automakers are now making the transition to clean energy. All of this because the CEO is a fucking horrible person. Guess what? Almost every product you have in your home or have ever used came from a company that had a terrible human being as their CEO. Tesla’s sales have been growing each year. They’re building a new plant in Mexico. A few decades? So, 30 years from now? Wow, what a ballsy prediction. /s You could, literally, insert any company’s name in there. If climate change goes as predicted, Tesla being around will be the least of everyone’s worries.

They’re building a new plant in Mexico.

That’s what will really take the comparative stock price of actual automakers into the stratosphere with Tesla you guys, a fucking factory in Mexico. How could Ford or Hyundai match having a factory in Mexico?!

Lol, the last Ford I bought (shit car btw) was built in Mexico. Tell me again why Tesla has 20x the market cap of Ford because it surely ain’t factories in Mexico.
