EV sales have fallen flat over the last couple of years. EV sales account for about 10% of all new car sales nation wide. Auto makers were/are hoping for exponential growth. It is just not happening..

THEIR EV BATTERY FACILITY WAS RAIDED===100 VENEZUALANS WERE CARTED OUT BY ICE-—ALL ILLEGALS==80% of the employees at that facility.

If he had introduced a very nice and efficient hybrid to start off with at a reasonable price some of us could have given Musk a hand!

“😂
Reminds me of the Twitter drama when Musk purchased it.
My $$ is on Musk.
I’ll wait a while.
Then buy.”

Twitter was worth $44 billion when Musk bought it. It’s worth $20 billion today.

I’ll be waiting a while longer.

Tesla hasn’t really updated the designs of their vehicles in sometime. Same look for as long as I can remember.

The design is generally dictated by aerodynamics which accounts of the "bar of soap" look that car makers - thanks to EPA mileage dictates - have almost uniformly adopted.

They should turn the job of designing over to AI:

The SUV on the right gives off a Power Wagon vibe.

People like to believe that, but take a look at some pictures of parking lots from virtually every era, and you will see the same degree of uniformity of design as you see today. For example...

Part of his business is selling carbon credits to non EV automakers or automakers that don't produce enough EVs, etc. The plugin hybrids(PHEV) are less popular than the all electrics(BEV)
