I love his tech (revolutionary in both EV and space, where you like it or not), and am still rooting for him to fail.

The only sad part is the money evaporates, not redistributes.

Fuck that asshole.

I don’t know about SpaceX. But EV is not revolutionary! All he did was packaged and sold the EV at a price affordable to the upper middle class. There are no special battery tech ( like solid state batteries etc) nor revolutionary motors ( Tesla motors are second grade compared to Lucid). He was lucky and was able to over promise and sell. The chicken is coming to roost soon.

He rushed his cars to market by cutting every qa step possible. The fit and finish is atrocious, with massive gaps and parts not fitting all over them.

I remember back in the late 80's if you compared the construction of Honda vs GM, you'd notice a major difference of how the outer body panels fit together. The Honda would be a consistent width all the way through. The GM vehicles were vary widely in how the car panels would fit together. If you look closely at the Tesla Model 3's, they're as bad, if not worse, than how the GM cars were. Compare two Model 3's side-by-side and you'll notice they're not consistent to each other.

Fit and finish is one part of the issue. The biggest issue is, the cars will fall apart in 6-10 years time frame. Tesla is not customer centric anymore, so the customers holding the car will be seeing huge bill when it breaks down!
