"In January 2018, for example, Tesla’s Impression score — which asks US adults if they have an overall positive or negative impression of a particular brand — sat at 15. After a couple of discernible drops, the brand’s Impression score has decreased to nine, making it eight points lower than the present sector average (17)." "At the beginning of the year, Tesla’s Reputation score — which gauges if people would feel either proud or embarrassed to work for a company — was 22, a couple points higher than the industry average. Today, however, Tesla’s score is 16, placing it a couple points below the automaker sector at large." https://today.yougov.com/topics/automotive/articles-reports/2018/08/28/public-perception-tesla-declines https://today.yougov.com/topics/automotive/articles-reports/... Also, see the Q1 earnings results from earlier this week, which were awful.

  Fair enough. Question is: does this really matter in the long term execution of the business? Not saying I know, but anyone claiming to know either way is definitely blowing smoke. Customer service related negative anecdotes like this may also be a result of Tesla reducing their retail footprint which is probably to be expected.

    Tesla is burning cash at an alarming rate. The question is if there exists a medium-term future at all for this company. Musk himself said last year that Tesla at one point was single-digit weeks from bankruptcy.

  Also interesting article which explains some of the Q1 slowness (apologizes ahead of time for the AMP link). Would love to here some counter points to the article! https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.businessinsider.com/tesla-is-singlehandedly-growing-electric-car-market-despite-bad-quarter-2019-4 https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.businessinsider.com/tesla-i...
