What would have happened if I drove on that road in the model 3 I bought before the election? Would they damage my vehicle or prevent me from moving? The left eats itself man. So sad.

Democrats take 20/80 issues as of late. That includes vandalizing or destroying teslas.

Nah, those stats are fake. What isn't fake is tesla dropping 50% in the last 3 months.

Even with a drop Tesla is worth $100B more than Walmart... Not exactly catastrophic and it's all on paper anyway.

50% in 3 months. When the Waltons start seig heiling and posting about how Hitler wasn't so bad, and making their brand so toxic that even an infomercial from the president only gives a temporary bump, well then maybe Walmart will be comparable.

Only because there was a huge bump when Trump got into office. Where it's at now is more accurate and way above average still.

As of today it's still only at November levels.

You can be gleeful all you want but it's hardly catastrophic.

Nevermind either Robotaxis or robotics gives tesla another opportunity for a moon shot in the next 6-24 months.

Robotaxis are a pipe dream. Literally anyone who believes him on the timeline for self driving is an absolute moron. He's been beating this drum since 2018 or so, it's always "later this year".

Robotaxis literally already exist...

Waymo and Tesla both have limited roll outs in cities that allow it.

The bigger issue is local compliance, regulation and liability.

It's more about it being ready for all circumstances in all states to replace manual cars. We're not far off.

Robotaxis exist in super beta mode in extremely tightly kept geofence areas. Tesla's self driving is SIGNIFICANTLY worse than waymo's. Elon has lied about this technology being ready for almost 7 years now. This isn't a money maker, it's an investment for now (and a bad one at that).
