Tesla seeks significant automation of production. That means doing everything they can to reduce headcount, with no surprise that the result is reduced headcount.

Yes, loss of tax credits is a hit. One reason to not have them, which Musk has acknowledged. Insofar as they existed, no surprise people used them.

Yes, electric cars are desirable. Maybe not for everyone, but not for nobody either. If they can hit break-even with ICE vehicles, crossover purchases will be significant.

I had an EV for a couple years. Y’all naysayers don’t know what you’re missing.

You get it, but it’s disconcerting how many commenters on this thread obviously know nothing about Tesla owners.

Electric cars require more energy to run than any gas gussler.

I ain’t missing nothing

“I had an EV for a couple years. Y’all naysayers don’t know what you’re missing.”

One thing I certainly don’t miss is plugging in my car every night...
