The fall of Tesla

[Eric]

Not looking good for the future of Tesla.

Is Tesla cooked?

The Trump bump gives way to a slump.

The CEO is absent, the stock is plummeting, and the brand is toxic. Tesla’s future looks grim.

Yeah, bigger picture is Trump's attacks on free speech over all are startling, there is nothing stopping him at this point.

Maybe Trump should sue all democrats for the boycott. I wonder if he will attack his supporters for not buying teslas.

Hopefully 401k portfolio managers have been dwindling down their held assets in Tesla as well.

Reading horror stories of people who were hanging on when it was over $400 just to sell out for less than $250 now because they're all nervous.

If it's one staple of the market it's stability and with Trump flip flopping all over the place nobody feels safe right now, not even his biggest supporters.

40% of tesla's profits come from selling carbon offsets. so polluting trucks can stay on the road.

Another 20% comes from wasting my time at the service center by giving me back my car without remembering to re-assemble the dashboard, to take the car out of diagnostic mode, and to repair the non-presenting door handle that worked fine until they started mucking with the car.

They also get 10% of their income by constantly changing service procedures, including now refusing to give you a loaner unless the repair takes more than 48 hours.

And 5% of their income comes from selling flamethrowers.

If the EPA head rescinds all the things he is talking about, that will also probably go away.

This will help Tesla.

Tesla Cybertruck deliveries reportedly on hold because the trim is flying off
