Likely be several dealerships closing now.

Might as well abandon the European market all together and stick with sheeple Americans.

Probably going to be huge layoffs in manufacturing Tesla cars, closing plants, etc.

And many Tesla parts are made in Mexico apparently. So the cost of production is about to rise, thanks to President Trumpflation's trade war. The Swasticar company will either have to lose profit, or raise prices which will cut into sales.

Trump already carved out an exception for cars for a month, and it wouldn’t surprise me if he then carved out an exception for just Tesla.

When did this happen?

Consumer reports gave the teslas one of the lowest reliability scores ever.

The builds on these Swasticars have always been crappy

Can’t wait for the stock to fall tomorrow. I’m hoping for ten per cent 🤞

$115 is the magic stock price. That's when Musk becomes unable to pay his debts, including the debt he owes for Twitter.

I'm hoping for a plummet to around $25. really put the squeeze to them

Watching that teardown video was shocking. the tow hitch shouldn't be used ever.

Even before I was much aware of Musk or Tesla, I found the truck ugly beyond belief. It always looks like those B-grade SciFi movies where it was obvious all the future cars were just a plastic molding on top of a 70s clunker frame.

Cybertrucks should have a bunch of Airtags factory installed on the sheetmetal.
