Oh, that’s why they are buying back $10bln of their own shares using taxpayers’money! But Mary “leads”

If less people want something hard to produce, you spend more to produce it and you must sell it at higher price

“billionaires” - like the 100k people well happy to work for Musk were forced to sign their contracts (like the Sweden did).
I am supporting the sustainable transportations of EVs, somehting that the extreme left seems not to care any longer about (better to use old polluting diesel cars because EVs are for the rich. now this is the narrative)

Well done

Dealerships will go extinct in the (not so) long term

Probably Volkswagen is going to be bailed out by Germany… I’d not touch any of their EVs until they clarify what direction they are going to take

Unions won’t win any customer hearths with this lobbying

Well done!

Because it’s garbage

What Tesla haters (that is 90% of people on Reddit and 80% of this sub) love to forget, is the MARGIN. The more ev Tesla competitors sell, the more money they LOSE. That’s why most legacy dealerships never push for EVs but try to trick people into buying more profitable hybrids or full ICEs cars. Tesla (and chinese brands) are the only car makers that make money selling EVs. This could have changed years ago IF old automakers planned things better. But they have no real vision for the future, have to deal with dealerships, unions and a extremely outdated factories. Look at GM: its value has not changed in the 10 years Mary Barra (the one who LEADS) has been its CEO.

Gné gné

Dealerships have to make up things to justify their existence

Sandy Munro uses Tesla seats in his office

Solidarity. Fuck IF Metall and their anti freedom bullshit. Tesla workers never asked for this strike. IF Metall is doing it in their own interests.

funny how everyone on Reddit thinks that Musk is right wing when he simply disagrees with their opinion. maybe “funny” is not the right word…

Medias are paid by oil makers and automakers. The formers always hated EVs, the latters tried to sell theirs and then realized they would have just lost money doing so, and now are reverting to ICEs and hybrids. The result is an anti-ev campaing being paid by all the major sponsor of traditional media. Fake, old and twisted informations about EVs are constantly spread all over internet, papers and tv shows. Here in Italy most people thinks that “lobbies” pushed for the EV agenda to force people to buy new, impossibly expensive EVs, just to make people poorer (just saying…)

Everyone else laughed at Tesla first. Then kept watching their slow growth, often laughing (but softer). Then Model3 came out and they panicked and started trying to catch up a 10 year advantage Tesla has almost kept intact to date.
Also: Rivian, Tesla and other EV only manufacturers have not the problems to convert existing, outdated and often unusable factories to EV production, nor have the burden of dealerships. Finally, Tesla doesn’t outsource almost anything. This means that they can improve their cars every week, and adapt to any change they must introduce. When Ford has an outsourced piece of hardware coming from China being replaced with a different one, the time they need to adapt their car software can be much much longer than the time Tesla need to do the same with an in-house item

Usual anti-Tesla title. BYD lists plugin hybrids as EVs. Plugin hybrids are worse than EVs for the environment in a green trasition perspective

Nothing new. Oil and ICEs makers are losing money and the best way to counterattack is pay their lapdogs to spread lies. We’ve been lied for decades on the emissions and the effects of combustion on the environment. Lies have always been their weapon of choice to control people’s opinions (and money has been their primary weapon to make newsmakers spread them)

less than 10% are striking: check the numbers, please
