Carlos Danger Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I am not sure Tesla is even that big of a cash cow for Musk. I think there is way more cash in space X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Tesla has several advantages over the big autos. 1. Tesla still leads in tech 2. Has battery market cornered 3. Doesn't have union legacy costs and bullshit and uses more robotic assembly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour their engineering and then ANY other car company and you will NEVER buy a Tesla. Another clarification. They do not lead in tech. Their infotainment is awful and the auto drive is behind a few others. Their batter range tech isn't leading either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Range Rover and Alpha Romero were worse than Tesla. That’s pretty sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost of parts are quite a bit cheaper compared to Toyota. In some cases 1/2 price and much more available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICG Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Look at an Audi etron GT RS, a blind man 👨🦯 could see the differences in quality and design. Get in it and drive it, you won't look back at an American car again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is fine for what it does but when competing with a real car it looks really bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for shits and giggles i looked up the etron on jd power and ya just as I thought not good. Horrible cars I’ll look at the nice design as I walk by.
