The best thing they could do for their sales is get rid of all ties to Elon Musk.
They’ve gone a long way on flash and sex appeal but I think a little straightforward practical value would help them a lot. The market is awash in good competition now so their novelty effect is gone. And the sex appeal has ended for everyone except for 40k cyberdouches.
And get real professionals to design and build future models.
Also have anyone who understands basic car design point out why shit like door opening buttons are a terrible idea in emergencies. Or why requiring the doors to lock during a software update is stupid. Or why putting electronics not designed for extreme heat is terrible. Or that trying to use cameras in bad weather isn't any better than human eyes....
Now, the origin of all those terrible ideas will be running the government.
I'm sure people pointed out all of those things and were overruled by the Nazi manchild in charge.
It's all 5d chess technology that us plebs would never understand, what with our preference for simple, maintainable shit.
Just ordinary professionals will do nicely.
Or even better, get Olivier Boulet (of Mitsubishi infamy) to do their future designs so we can put the company out of its misery.
While true this still won’t make the Cyberdrumpf meet EU regulations. You can’t make it street legal here.
Instead they did the opposite and gave him the biggest bonus in world history.
I definitely would've considered Tesla as my first EV but as of now they're dead to me. If he was completely gone then that actually becomes a selling point for me.
As the article title states, unlike Elon Musk, Tesla pulls out.
