Definitely Teslas became less attractive to a lot of people with Musks behavior in the last year. But also interest rates are up, and EV enthusiast market may be saturated, so now you have to win over just regular people.
- oxfordmale 3y agoI don't like Musk, but I am also under no illusion that CEOs of other major car companies are any better. They may just hide their opinions a little better than Musk. The reality is that Tesla aren't very good cars from both reliability, price and range perspective. Musk has done a brilliant job hyping the car, but reality starts setting in. For example, FSD will likely remain in beta for years.

- addaon 3y ago> They may just hide their opinions a little better than Musk. Isn't that better? Even if it's not /good/, it seems /better/.
- oxfordmale 3y agoIt is a complex issue that would require an essay to answer. However, in this specific case, avoiding buying a car because you don't like the CEO, it doesn't make a difference. Most CEOs are psychopaths.
- recursive 3y agoAll EV enthusiasts were formerly normal people. A lot of EV buyers become enthused. I never used to really care about cars.
