I can't believe the rewriting of history on this topic. They were definitely not popular. The Model S had just been released 14 years ago. They were not popular. Tesla transformed the world in terms of rolling out electric cars.

Not really, and nowhere near the same operational experience. They are still figuring out Starship. They're deploying new types of Starlink satellites.
This is an utterly insane thesis.
- PretzelPirate 5d agoMy point was that the work to make them popular was done back then. The model s is what made Tesla cool to the public and made people want electric cars. Since then there have been some improvements to the car like better FSD, but no huge technical leaps. The things you're talking about aren't things Elon is likely spending his days on. He has teams of people marketing Tesla and working on improving starship. Do you think Elon is actually handing design himself vs sitting in a bunch of meetings and giving feedback? If he isn't doing the hands-on work, so you think he's in 18hrs of meetings each day?
