But Reddit told me on good authority that Teslas are good for nothing and nobody wants them. How could this possibly happen?

They’re technologically interesting but not a solution to any real problems, in and of themselves. Plus they should be called Musk, not Tesla.

Impressive, very nice. Now let’s see 2023’s sales numbers.

Anything lower is considered a failure according to capitalism.

Of course. You have to consider the market value of the company. It reflects future growth not current assets/sales

40% growth in deliveries and 47% growth in production? But Reddit told me no one wanted to buy a Tesla because of Elon musk.

If you say anything good about Elon or Tesla on Reddit you're going to get downvoted.

in America
Could you cite a source for your claim that ford sold more EVs than Tesla?
tickleMyBigPoop OP t1_j6djcvm wrote
What?
Last i looked ford sold around 60,000.
To everyone else you would thing bots like u/Spartanfred104 would at least be as accurate as chatgpt.

Tesla has sold more EVs than any of those brands every year. Toyota would beat them only if you include hybrids. You didn’t mistake 2018 data as that would still prove you wrong.

Doesn't even make any sense - Tesla sold ~250k in 2018, still more than Ford, Toyota and Chevrolet in 2022 combined.

Some would argue that was the point all along.

People full chest posting about how the Chinese don't want Teslas because Elon moved to Texas ffs hahaha

Someone has an Elon poster in their locker and goes around pumping for him.

That's last year. At the end of last year, several things happened.
Prices were slashed.
Share price dropped.
Musk insulted his customer base.
atchijov t1_j6dl9fy wrote
… after 25% (or more in some cases) price drop.
aquarain t1_j6e26rp wrote
Fun story: Tesla can lower the price to the consumer because Tesla sells the car to the consumer. GM and Ford can't even get their dealers to sell their cars at MSRP.
frolie0 t1_j6n2i7q wrote
Pretty sure they lowered their prices after the year ended, having no impact on there numbers.

Most billionaires are dickheads.
You probably don't even know their names though?
Can you name the CEO of Nestle without using google? That corporation is straight up evil.
strghtflush t1_j6g05xo wrote
Yeah, man, almost like Musk desperately wants people to like him and tries idiotic shit like disastrous appearances on SNL to increase his personal brand.

It can actually be grass roots hate.
A lot of people make their living in all of the industries that touch fossil fuels. Electricity doesn't need dispatchers to schedule fleets of electricity delivery trucks.

i'm certain the ring leaders are a combination of short sellers, oil lobby and traditional auto/dealership bad actors.
they started appearing on every Tesla-related article even on smaller subreddits like /r/Energy where it clearly stands out as brigading.

You mean all the publications that have the established manufacturers as their top advertisers? lol
erosram t1_j6ejc2r wrote
It’s unreasonable. The dude has pushed industries forward that will have a major impact on the planet, and just because he messes around twitter from time to time, like many people do here and other places, people are losing their mind. He’s a human being, and he’s done a lot of good things, too.
