Putting all the politics aside they have increased competition from other brands which would always be an issue eventually and right now it is BYD. But politically conservatives are not the ones who buy these cars so in that respect not so smart. I have no interest in either personally.
Then you get to the value of the company. Is it overvalued period, how much of that value is due to him and would it crash harder if the board got rid of him. I'd be really ****ed if I was in Tesla and if I had the money I want to risk I'd short the shit out of it. Either way it does not excuse people to damage other peoples property. You'd think by now people would know a Tesla has cameras all around ![]() |

Considering a lot of his other ventures are funded by loans borrowed against Tesla stock..........could Tesla sink Elon?

EV’s are a scam, if you believe they’re “saving the planet” watch the 7 Spotlight show on the devastation their manufacturing is creating.
They’ll get a lot cheaper because there are fewer moving parts, China will dump them here 100% In an accident they’re a write off, in 5 years the resale is terrible. I’ll stick with my V8 Mustang, the Mrs prefers her Escape Vignale. |

The 7 Spotlight was a hatchet job. That incident with the electric viking was in November last year. They've been sitting on this for months. 1. Nickel from Indonesia is not used in EV batteries or any batteries. You need Class 1 Nickel which theirs is not. Guess where they get their Nickel from? Australia and Canada 2. 90% of EVs sold in Australia don't even use Nickel!! They use LFP batteries that don't have Nickel 3. If you really care about the Indonesian people in that story, stop buying anything stainless steel (70% of Nickel is used for Stainless steel; you know your kitchen sinks, water tanks, almost all our cars, etc). 4. Your Mustang V8 with Alloy Coyote and Escape both use more Nickel than EVs running LFP batteries which is the 90% in Australia.

No need to discuss anything further with you from that point on. Respectfully, you have made up your mind based on falsehoods and aren't open to rational discussion. "You can beat 40 scholars with 1 fact, but you can't beat 1 fool with 40 facts"

Hilarious. So much pride. Educating you that what you watched wasn't true and instead of being proud that our Australian industry is supplying resources for EVs, you try to imply I care about China.
How sad a life you live.

Well, that makes two of us born and bred thank you very much. But I put my money into Australian products unlike you.
You with your imports lecturing others is cute. Might want to check how much Chinese components are in the cars you drive vs what I drive (hint, your cars have more). Thanks for playing.

When all you have is a hammer. I have nothing but pity for you.
Guess by that logic it's time for you to move to the USA or to Europe given your buying choices.

Thanks to Fordman1 for the closing:
- posts that are disrespectful and insulting to a fellow forum member - posts referring to race, politics - deliberately argumentative, failing to respect the opinions of other members.
