Nazis deserve a punch in the face, not money.
Boycott Tesla and Nazi led companies. Do not buy their products, do not buy their stock. Ensure any investment funds you have are free of Nazis.
Keeping with Tesla’s Swasticar theme, the new Model S will be the called the SS.
Or I’m a fucking Nazi and no one will by my shit anymore.
There’s going to be plenty of idiots that will see the never proven mostly unusable robot as a good thing for the company. Another trillion dollar bonus package approved!
So basically the cars are not selling, but he doesn’t want to be seen to be closing the factories.
It’s total bullshit. They don’t need to do anything to the factory. They haven’t made X and Y in Fremont for 2 years. There isn’t anything to retool or any space to reuse.
The factory already frequently takes manufacturing breaks for days at a time. If he had a robot to build, they have capacity, but let’s not fool ourselves. There is nothing to manufacture or deliver.
This is just him hoping he can fool people into thinking they still even need his factories at full capacity. Pretty sure they don’t.
This. They’ll shut down for retooling, open up to churn out a small number of robots that do nothing, and claim success while firing most of the staff.
Well the contract he signed for ~$1 trillion by 2035 specifies he has to deploy 1 million robots and 1 million robo-taxis. Which I can see happening.
The issue I see with it is he has to get Tesla car deliveries up to 20 million a year. To put that into perspective, new car sales in the U.S. has never hit 20 million vehicles that I know of. Globally I just saw their sales were at less than 2 million.
So chopping the $80,000+ models and keeping the ~$40,000 models that make up 97% of their sales makes sense. He needs something that will gather a lot of new sales, and there aren’t mass amounts of people with $100k to buy a new car.
My bet is on him selling cars to himself somehow
Nah, he’ll have the government buy them as fleet cars.
Good point ($1 million x $100,000 for cars)+($1 million x 500,000 for robots) is still less than a trillion $.
No?
This will be a glorious failure.
Even if his robots were ready for primetime (they’re not), I don’t see how he’s going to be able to price them affordably, given the RAM shortages.
Ain’t nobody gonna buy your stupid Nazibots either, di ckhead. You are universally despised.
Not universally unfortunately. Republicans/racists still think he’s pretty great.
Optimus robots? Do they have a crossover truck model called Prime? Is it actually a decepticon?
Thinking about this further down the road: What happens when the company stops making cars altogether or drops support? Do these smart cars still function without having to call home, or do they effectively become bricks on wheels?
Lol
Did Tesla stock go up on this glorious news?
Ironically, yes
