At some point Teslas product became its stock and Musk it’s tout. What lost its shine is TSLA. This is my first go around but I’m led to believe this is what the tail end of a credit cycle looks like.
What hurts Tesla isn’t a few terminally online folks refusing to buy some expensive electric cars but the perception they will in a very difficult market.
Tesla made cool cars before Elon joined (it was founded by Eberhard and Tarpenning - Elon was an early investor who started calling himself a founder one day and got sued by the actual founders, they settled allowing him to continue) and it’ll continue to make neat electric cars moving forward. But they will lose their first mover margins as more players join and that’s gonna hurt.
It’ll continue to be a player in automotive but it’ll now be priced like it. Until it can demonstrate traction in literally anything other than making cars.
- jupp0r 4y agoYou think it's irrelevant that Elon alienated most of his potential customer base?
- arcticbull 4y agoI don’t think the customer base was actually meaningfully shrunk by his shenanigans on twitter but I think the perception that it was matters more. I could be wrong.
