To: Tell It Right

Tesla’s problem has always been bad management.

The cars will sell, if only to rich libs that want to show off their Greenie-Weenie Cred, for other libs.

The problems have been constant production stoppages, rushed engineering and then rushed fixes for bad engineering................

“The cars will sell, if only to rich libs that want to show off their Greenie-Weenie Cred, for other libs.”

that’s a VERY limited market, however, and will quickly saturate, particularly with lots of competition from other luxury autos in the same price range ...

Tesla’s problems are not just bad management, but producing a product for which there is very little market. I have two friends who bought electric vehicles and I asked them if they would have bought WITHOUT the subsidy. The answer was heck no in both cases. So their market wasn’t for the vehicle, but for the subsidy. Neither of them have their electric vehicles any more.

Electric vehicles are niche vehicles that have too short a range , take too long to recharge, cost too much (without a subsidy), dont last long enough (dunno about the rest of you but I average keeping a car 12 years), are very expensive to repair (new battery pack), and pollute more than gas vehicles- just pollute in a different location.
