Yesterday, when I wrote an article explaining what I think has happened with Elon Musk and Tesla in recent years that has led to the conundrum Tesla is in right now, or at least its latest “bet the company” move, I knew the reader comments would be great. As some … [continued]

Some of this article is stuff that’s been widely discussed for months, but I think it goes a little deeper into how I think we got here. Maybe I’m wrong, but after covering Tesla and Elon Musk very closely for 12 years and having my assumptions and analysis affirmed by … [continued]

Well, this is something new. One of my first thoughts was, well, that’s dirty. Kia is apparently offering extra discounts to Tesla drivers who ditch their Tesla and buy a Kia EV. Kia is offering a $1,000 discount if you buy an EV6 and a $1,500 discount if you buy … [continued]

More “See-Saw Effect” with Tesla FSD 12.5.3

Credit to Author: Zachary Shahan| Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2024 16:40:54 +0000

I wrote the other day about Tesla “Full Self Driving” (FSD) reportedly getting much better with the 12.5 update. As I explained in that piece, I normally don’t go by what other people are saying on this because my history with doing that was massive disappointment and a tremendously different … [continued]

Elon Musk Would Serve as Secretary of D.O.G.E. Under Trump?

Credit to Author: Zachary Shahan| Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2024 18:19:36 +0000

Elon Musk could be putting Tesla people in a real pickle, and not in the ways you may be thinking. Or maybe it’s just a not-very-thought-out “yeah, let’s do it!” after some mixture of imbibed potions and would never actually happen. Either way, since he’s put it out there, let’s … [continued]

There are so many avenues we could go down with this, and I don’t know as I start writing this article where I’m going to go (which is not normal for me). It’s a weird story, and one with many side elements. First of all, the facts: Chechnya President and … [continued]

As we’ve discussed a few times, Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s dramatic, public departure into deep right-wing political culture has been turning many buyers and shareholders off from Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). I’ve seen multiple former Tesla fans who had stock since IPO (2010) or since the Model S was launched (2012) say … [continued]

Tesla FSD 12.5 Shows Massive Improvement, Testers Say

admin , , , , , , , ,

Credit to Author: Zachary Shahan| Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2024 18:46:00 +0000

Years ago, I got hyped up by early Tesla Full Self Driving (FSD) testers giving the impression that FSD was nearly robotaxi capable. I got FSD, which I had bought years prior, activated about a year later and discovered it was actually horrible and much worse than the previous Autopilot … [continued]

Tesla Is 100,000+ Workers, Not Just Elon Musk

Credit to Author: Zachary Shahan| Date: Sun, 18 Aug 2024 14:28:08 +0000

As we’ve noted many times here, and many others have noted, Elon Musk’s move further and further to the right — and how vocal he is about that — have led to dramatic drops in interest in buying Teslas from Democrats. Many Democrats have gone from wanting to support a … [continued]
