Tesla Sales Plunge, Oh the Humanity!

Maybe Trump will subsidize Tesla like SpaceX ? Big scandal ensues...Elongate!!

Tesla’s sales got further crushed in Q1 2025 in California, while non-Tesla EV sales soared, after one of the most successful and beloved consumer brands in California – and the only major auto manufacturer building vehicles in the state – got sacrificed on the altar of Elon Musk’s political ambitions, he who used to walk on water in California.

Teslas suck.

Woohoo! He deserves this massive slap in the face.

These arrested development engineers always believe they can do anything. But what Musk really wants is Mars, not cars. As long as Dump funnels megabucks to SpaceX his delusional ambition of colonizing outer space in the next decade will keep him believing his own hype. His world view is based on a mashup of science fiction and Marvel comics. He even had a cameo in Ironman. He truly believes he IS Ironman.

That this strange manchild with his messianic idea he will save humanity from extinction by procreating like a rabbit and sending everyone (or maybe just the inferiors) to Mars is the richest man in the world is truly bizarre.

He’s mentally ill, r4.

He is a narcissist. Dark triad type. Only HE matters. HE believes he is the “chosen one”, but he’s just another mentally ill, megalomaniac narcissist.

Take away his $$ and he’s just your run of the mill retarded cunt.

Is it me, or does it seem as if has Musk been removed from the spotlight since the election stumbles in PA and WI? No more daily DOGE updates? Musk is a proven loser right now. You hate to see it.

He’s underground but he’s still doing damage-people like that don’t just go away.

‘’Illegal to Boycott Tesla’’ fuck you dump.

R6 Muskrat got what he wanted-all of our data. He doesn't need to go through the DOGE cost-saving BS anymore.

There is quite a market, though, for used Teslas.

Not so much. Even Tesla says they won't take a CyberUrinal in trade for any other Tesla, so the resale value is officially less than zero.

Has anyone ever escaped the Trump universe NOT in ruins? Two of his biggest supporters from 2020 (Giuliani and Lindell) are in financial ruin because of him.

When will these morons learn that you can’t get involved in his bullshit and escape unharmed?

Musk is now a negative so they keep him hidden. Supposedly he’ll be gone for good in May. Meanwhile ,the Tesla brand is severely damaged.

Elmo's wealth mostly consists of stock in his companies, which has been historically overvalued. He's just a nepo baby who's gotten some very good investment advice in the past and is now living off money he's borrowed using his stock as collateral.

I don’t know why the Tesla board keeps him around. I wonder which auto company will eventually buy Tesla.

R13, I cannot link to it, but, earlier this month, the NYT had an article, headlined, "Used Tesla Market Heats Up as Owners Sell to Protest Elon Musk":

[quote] For the last several months, Ken Harvey has been cultivating a budding side business for his Honda and Mazda dealerships in Northern California: selling used Teslas.

[quote] A few times a month, Mr. Harvey picks up a few pre-owned Teslas at a local automobile auction and offers them for sale, often at surprisingly affordable prices, thanks to a $4,000 federal tax credit that customers get for purchasing used electric vehicles priced under $25,000. Some consumers who qualify for state incentives, he said, end up with used Model 3 sedans for well under $20,000 — less than half the cost of a new one.

[quote] “We sold three in the last week, maybe 20 since the beginning of the year,” said Mr. Harvey, whose family owns four Honda dealerships and two Mazda franchises in Alameda County, a suburb of San Francisco where Tesla has a car plant.

[quote] “We have three in stock now, and two are on the way,” he added. “They won’t stay around more than a few days.”

And Tesla gets no money from the resales

We now know that Tesla purposely speeds up odometers to read the warranty mileage faster.

Eliminate that $4K subsidy to welfare queen Musk and watch with glee as the bottom falls out of the new and used Tesla market.

Then eliminate welfare queen Musk's SpaceX subsidy. If the bitch wants to go to Mars so badly, let him pay for it out of his own fucking deep pockets.

If Musk landed on Mars tomorrow and discovered gold, does anyone seriously think that cheap bitch would share the wealth with the American taxpayer, the very people who have been subsidizing his fat ass for a decade?

If the Tesla board is smart they'll kick Musk out as soon as humanly possible. IMO that's the only way they can begin to rebuild their brand.

by Anonymousreply 24April 19, 2025 6:13 PM

[QUOTE]I don’t know why the Tesla board keeps him around.

Because they're in a compromised position. Per the WSJ article about Musk's drug abuse, he parties with some of his board members where the partake in illegal drugs. He also bailed out/came to the rescue of a board member who was in some kind of a pickle. A domestic situation, maybe. I can't recall details.
