I'm reminded of the trajectory of #BlackBerry. It wasn't a "device" company, it was a service, making money from its internet toll booth, it's patent portfolio, its servers.

When it fell, it was because of its device sales and plummeting share. Nothing else.

I hear similar narratives around #Tesla - its the chargers, the network, the patents.

Maybe Tesla's fortunes are tied more to vehicle sales than they would care to admit.

Don't believe the FUD.


#Tesla’s Profit Fell 55%, Adding to Concerns About Its Strategy

The first-quarter results will very likely fuel worries that competitors will continue grabbing a bigger slice of a #market dealing with slowing #ElectricCar sales.

“#Tesla has cut prices in a number of its major markets - including in China and Germany - after price cuts in the United States - as it grapples with falling sales and an intensifying price war for electric vehicles (EVs), especially against cheaper Chinese EVs.”

The system previously known as FSD, now known as "just kidding FSD" is being adjusted down to $8k. In 2022 it was sold for $15k.

"Tesla CEO Elon Musk has repeatedly said that as FSD becomes more capable, it should also go up in price to reflect its greater value. Previously, FSD price increases were largely associated with software updates that added new capability to the system."

Winning!

Total Recall

(Screenshot from ‘Total Recall’ below. It’s the dystopian Arnold Schwarzenegger film from 1990. Kinda funny since the cybertruck is facing a total recall right now 😂)

I inherited my dad’s #Tesla and I have so far been unable to get insurance for it, possibly because of their tendency to hit people and blow up.


Rusty #cybertruck has soap on the accelerator pedal and breaks down when wet.
At least #tesla is vaguely consistent with their weird theme.

Why is #Tesla not honoring the warranty“

Does #ElonMusk realize how weak this makes Cybertruck look“

#Tesla is laying off 10% of their workforce (about 14,000).

I am not a fan of #ElonMusk, but I do not like seeing this happen to #Tesla, as it will have a ripple effect on the Electric Vehicle market.

#Layoffs will affect about 14,000 people.

Tesla (TSLA) is rumored to be preparing a massive round of layoffs

#Tesla has halted Cybertruck deliveries, according to social media chatter, possibly to address a problem with the accelerator pedal.

the general outline of this story has been known for years, but seeing the whole thing written in one single place is truly horrifying and shocking.

the Muskrat is a fascist, narcissistic manchild, and his companies, all of them, are hotbeds of racism and misogyny.

Holy Crap! So I assumed the new #Tesla 's self-driving feature was better than my new #nissanleaf 's safety features. NO! #Elon removed LIdar and utrasonics in the latest and crashes exploded in number. ATM "self-driving" vehicles are 10 times more likely to get into a crash than a human driver. The Tesla is by far the mostly likely car to get into an accident. That's because level 2 autonomous driving is NOT a self-driving car even though its been marketed as such. It is going to take decades before when get to level 4 autonomous driving. Current level 2 driving in most cars drops fatalities by 20%, but that is only because they had LIDAR and ultrasonics and don't advertise themselves as "self-driving"


"Norska Pensionsfonden KLP kan komma att lÀgga fram ett aktieÀgarförslag pÄ Teslas ÄrsstÀmma om att adressera Elon Musks ovilja att delta i förhandlingar om kollektivavtal. Det skriver Reuters.

Strejken i Sverige har i flera mÄnader stört biltillverkarens verksamhet och vÀckt oro hos flera nordiska institutionella investerare. PÄ mÄndagen sa Musk att strejken Àr överspelad. "

So three things:

  • Proof no one wants to pay $200/mo for a system that is suspect.
  • #Tesla is getting desparate.
  • They stuck "Supervised" in the name and then went with an acronym because if they had to spell it out, it would look as stupid as it is: Full Self-Driving Supervised.

So, Tesla, is it Full Self-Driving or is it not? Because if it has to be Supervised, it isn't.


"But a few months in, his supervisor started calling him 'boy.' Keys heard white coworkers use the N-word and call people 'monkey.' There was a swastika drawn with a black marker near where he clocked in to work every day."

@kaasbaas if you crash, #Tesla have no “skin in the game”. They won’t die, they won’t be held liable. Think about how hard they have to try to make it safe - really not that hard


Tesla has settled a lawsuit over the fatal Model X crash, which killed Apple engineer Wei Lun Huang in 2019.

The company confirmed Autopilot was turned on, but had always insisted driver error was to blame. However, as @engadget reports, Tesla settled out of court on the day that the trial's jury selection was due to take place.
