Elon Musk might give up on Tesla's 4680 battery cell by the end of the year
- jqpabc123 2y agoThe only popular stock I'm aware of that is more over valued and over hyped than TSLA is perhaps NVDA. To justify the current price of Tesla stock, they would have to sell more cars than Toyota. And thus far, they're nowhere close to this and making little progress toward getting there.
- Zigurd 2y agoThis is one element of the unraveling of the "Tesla is special" meme. Tesla is special because they went pure electric and they didn't end up subscale and out of money like almost every other attempt. Rivian got $5 billion by saving VW's software situation and that might put them over the hump. Tesla, however isn't special because of FSD. Tesla isn't going to stay special with an out of date battery architecture. Tesla didn't change the definition of a pick up truck. And a six year journey to robotaxis is a transparently cynical attempt to keep the meme alive.
