Software Engineers are the biggest group of Tesla advocates that I know - and they loved Musk. Until he bought Twitter.
Then the Cybertruck rolled out, and it immediately started rusting in the rain. Tesla will sell you a $5,000 solution to "fix" that problem. At this point we can say the response so far has been "tepid." Certainly not overwhelming.
And Tesla's sales are dropping.
This is the reality - Tesla's market capitalization has been greater than Toyota, Honda, Ford, GM, Fiat, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes, and Audi combined. I've been saying for years that it's insane that anybody thinks Tesla is worth that much. Now people are starting to realize they aren't.
Does that mean Tesla is going to go away? Of course not. They're still a major player in the EV market and will be for years to come. Perhaps for decades to come. Wouldn't surprise me if one of those companies I listed above goes out of business in the coming years because of Tesla. But to think Tesla is more valuable than all of those companies combined? That's simply insane.
