  Cybertruck vs $25k Model 2. Focusing on FSD that doesn’t work well enough to sell in meaningful quantities (and may never work well enough to be unsupervised). People want and will buy cheaper EVs. See: BYD. Make more, less expensive EVs faster. But this won’t support Teslas robotaxi/AI company valuation, which Elon needs to stay wealthy and powerful. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-23/tesla-tsla-stumbles-again-as-profit-sales-fall-short-of-estimates https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-23/tesla-tsl... | https://archive.today/EzU6O https://archive.today/EzU6O (“Tesla to Accelerate Launch of Cheaper Cars After Sales Miss”) https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/02/byd-produced-more-than-3-million-cars-in-2023-set-to-beat-tesla.html https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/02/byd-produced-more-than-3-mil...

    Thats outdated news. > BYD, China's biggest electric vehicle (EV) maker, reported first quarter 2024 sales fell 43% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, handing back the title of world's biggest EV seller to Tesla after winning it last year. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/byd-may-hand-back-top-ev-seller-title-tesla-after-q1-sales-decline-2024-04-02/ https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/byd-ma... Bad news for Tesla is highly pumped on social media and media.
