The only thing I do find sad about the slow death of Tesla is that it genuinely was the flag bearer for electric cars. If you named the brand that was synonymous with electric cars it was Tesla and they were one of the first companies that made electric cars that actually looked good. A lot of the increase in interest in electric cars comes from them being the leading light and it's partly because of that there's now a swathe of cheaper, great quality electric cars on the market. They proved that there was a market.

They were never going to last under Musk from the moment "the electric car guy" aligned himself with a climate denying Government that's focused on selling more Dodge RAMs to Germany.

Let's take a topic like, say, climate change.

99% of scientists and environmentalists generally have an agreement, a consensus if you will on what the reality of the situation is.

What the alt-right endlessly do is amplify the other 1% on issues like climate change and then disingenuously suggest that there is split opinion on the matter.

There isn't. 99% of experts believe one thing, and then 1% (almost ALWAYS with a vested interest - ie links to fossil fuel companies) is paid to promote another thing.

Hard to know who to believe isn't it?!

So you take a fraction of what I posted(All the points still stand), you then reference an outlier that's been debunked(the 99%)to reference it, you follow on by linking it to an obsolete political group who probably couldn't care less about climate change(Unless the jews caused it)!

I know you are playing for your team mates here but that is desperate! I saw this meme that reminded me of this post.

The one fatal problem with your argument is that Musk/Tesla is using and continually creates pioneering technology. Once this has died down and quite a few leftists are jailed it will pick up.,

I thought the left liked saving the planet and would give Elon a pass, so which is it?

Oh and his rocket saved a couple of astronauts the other day, little MSM coverage.

People will still buy EVs just not Teslers, which by all accounts are quite poor examples anyway. He FAFO, no one to blame but himself.

Also the astronaut news was all over the MSM.

That's not quite fair.

Teslas are known for having a fast and efficient powertrain - until recently unequalled, but arguably now surpassed by e.g. Xiaomi / BYD / Nio.

Tesla is however much criticised for poor build quality, which has apparently improved over the last decade, and "in progress" software. Also, for having a right wing **** for a CEO.

And that's just it. They stop innovating so they could build that ridiculous "bullet-proof" cybertruck. Which is absolutely doing nothing for their "build quality" (see: https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/20/business/tesla-cybertruck-recall/index.html for example).

Meanwhile the Chinese manufacturers have taken the ball and run straight past them. In no small part because the Chinese government backs EVs.

I'm a little annoyed that none of these cheaper Chinese EVs are available in the US to protect the Swasticar.

It is indeed. It was the lead story on NBCs Today show yesterday.

I'd hardly call that "little coverage"
Very revealing of this prick's modus operandi; Just chuck out loads and loads of bullshit which normal people just can't be arsed to deal with, sit back in your stinking bedsit thinking you've 'won' the argument and contemplate downloading some new filthy hentai porn to keep you warm at night.

Why are we jailing leftists? For not buying Teslas?

You can save the planet and condone fascism. It's not mutually exclusive

It's literally been EVERYWHERE, but you don't watch the MSM anyway, do you? Unless you're joining the sheeple?

His numbers dont add up to start. He is claiming 12.5k impressions after 12 hours yet most his posts after a day or 2 only garner around 1.5k to 2K.
Isn't that part of the point he's making though? He had few views for a couple of days - then loads more than normal.

This is wrong. Scientist, scholars, economists and journalists have a range of views on a range of issues. The problem is the media picks ones that are more likely to repeat their world view. This is why the MSM is collapsing.

Also I cant find the source of the quote and neither can others looking for it(link below). This matters as the last part "Decades of fraud" breaches libel laws. A libel on Trump and NDT.

So, you reckon 'decades of fraud' is libellous. So, by omitting any complaint, you accept 'exhaustively documented lying'.

Nice to see that you accept that your hero is a compulsive liar.

I presume that you are ploughing all of your savings into buying up as much of the artificially low priced Tesla stock as you can?

The only way is up, right?
