When the CEO of the company starts ranting and raving about "sentient cars", it's time to look somewhere else for your purchase.

Rigging a car to do a flip is a clear way to tell the world they officially ran out of ideas and are desperate to get a sale.

It's only desperation if it doesn't work, and from the amount of media coverage I've seen over the past week I'd say it's working pretty well.
It's like everyone has completely forgotten Musk was up on stage with the US president doing nazi salutes just a couple of years as ago.

The only way to be more explicit and literal about it would have been to make the car jump a shark instead of trucks

If it weren't for its CEO, they'd have at least one more customer.

Tesla could have been so much more with an adult at the helm.

Tesla cars are great. Best EV you can get when balancing cost and quality and capability. By far.
But it comes with Elon, so I drive a Rivian.

If you're American. For the rest of the world, best EV is BYD.

Isn’t that an American thing? Like the Volks Wagons and Skoda seems like really good cars than many people in Europe drive, not to mention the storm of Chinese brands.

I think it is also a bit of an outdated take even in the US market. There are a lot of options these days. The subsidies may be gone, but not all of the ev models have been canceled and the used market is still quite reasonable.

Totally, I’ve sat multiple times in Tesla and I don’t see what I am missing. Their interior and design is quite meh also.

By far... not now.
MANY EVs sold by renamed automakers, and even good chinese brands.

The interior of Tesla's feel cheaper than a 2013 Mitsubishi space star.

I am curious to know how are performing the Tesla's sales of CO2 emission quotas to the manufacturers who have started producing electric vehicles (and therefore have started to cover their own emission quotas).
PS: I am not parent commenter, and this separately to the famous gesture with the arm that E.M. did, what can be guessed that harmed the sales.

What is the scam? I do not like EVs and do not own a Tesla car, but Tesla does make them, they do work, and people do like them. Theranos, by comparison, never delivered (nor could deliver) what they promised. So I am not sure I get your comparison.

Not OP, but could it be they refer to FSD?
There’s also DOGE and all the related stock manipulation that happened, the tweet promising funding to take TSLA private which obviously made people buy the stock, the ru[n|i]ning of Twitter for political gain, the creation of teams in Tesla to convince owners not to come investigate battery/range issues under warranty, etc.
Probably not quite to Theranos levels, but I can see the pattern.

The unrealistic timelines for future improvements matter but they're a lot less than Theranos and Enron. And the current product is baaaasically what they promise even if they get wink wink nudge nudge about whether the self driving is level 2 or 4.

I can go book an FSD robotaxi right now in downtown Austin TX, I know because I’ve done it many times. It’s real and works great. Not sure what you mean about FSD.
