Tesla’s sales woes is another triumph of simple economics over ideology...

If you’re referring to the Tesla Model X SUV, they’ve priced the majority of their potential buyers out of market at 82K$ MSRP...

I realize tech comes at a price but they’ve effectively insured the electric will probably remain a virtue signaling status symbol among the well-heeled for the foreseeable future...Narrow-minded of me, I know, but when I see a Tesla the first thing comes to mind is “tree-hugging Progtard”...

Most of what remains of the middle class in the market for a family wagon don’t have and won’t spend that kind of money on a vehicle to haul kids around, when gas is still relatively cheap and there are so many gas-powered offerings on the market, so their sales will remain small...

All manufactures will be producing an electric car by 2021 or something like that. Once competition comes in and sells at a 1% margin or lower, tesla is toast.
