It's a shame since Tesla and SpaceX both seemed to have reached maturity beyond the start-up/celebrity CEO stage. Yes - they're both facing teething issues, supply chain problems, demand, etc - but it'd be easier to write off these drops if the CEO wasn't busy with some glorified SMS service.
- aylmao 4y agoIMO Tesla reached "maturity" with two issues: - It was so incredibly overvalued before being mature, that once it actually started to deliver on some promises its price shot up even further from where it should be. - It reached "maturity" too late. Other car makers have caught up. Consumers can buy a Ford F-150 Lightning, an Rivian R1T or a GMC Hummer EV today, but not a Cybertruck. Kia, Nissan, Mini, Porsche, Audi, etc have great EV offerings. Tesla isn't even the biggest seller of electric cars in the world anymore (it's BYD, 354k sales vs Tesla's 254k)[1] [1] https://www.counterpointresearch.com/global-ev-sales-61-q2-2022-byd-leads-market/ https://www.counterpointresearch.com/global-ev-sales-61-q2-2...
- eecc 4y agoAlso Rivian tanked 50% last two months.
- MrMan 4y agoRivian makes cool looking things but will probably go out of business.
- dukodk 4y agoIf you look into the numbers almost 50% of BYD is PHEV, the BYD Song, their top-seller, is a PHEV. https://www.ev-volumes.com/ https://www.ev-volumes.com/ The most important part in the EV transition is still who can buy/produce the most batteries.
