The third point is also why I don’t trust Elon’s leadership anymore. It’s too impetuous these days. This is true of how he runs Twitter as well as Tesla.
The first two points are also very true and emblematic of a company following their impulsive leaders whims.
The biggest refreshes any of their models have gotten since launch are either very negatively received (yoke without steer by wire, removal of stalks) or have been cost cutting measures.
Highland Model 3s barely moved the needle for anyone who isn’t an active Tesla observer. All their resources have gone into the cybertruck and robotaxi.
I disagree though that they’re learning to be a car company. I think they have shown they can sell multiple models. However the problem is they have poor leadership. They’re now stuck in the same rut as many of the Japanese brands are when they hyper focused on certain aspects of their business.
Elon is hyper focused on cutting costs and refreshing their models goes against that. Whatever mid life crisis has entrenched this immature side of him is reflected in the company. It needs to mature itself into a company that can deliver across the board in the way they used to innovate and I don’t think they can do that with him at the helm any longer.
