    • Fired the Supercharger head and the entire department
    • Fired the lead of new vehicle development
    • Previously fired head of battery development
    • Constantly “one year away” from Tesla full self driving, whilst Mercedes just launched geofenced FSD, with Mercedes assuming 100% liability during FSD
    • Elon just had a out of the blue trip to China, appears to have ‘kissed the ring’ of Beijing, and hyping TaaS robotaxis

    What’s Tesla’s USP to an investor now? The supercharger ‘lock in’ and early head start at the EV game are Tesla’s biggest boons, but the former appears to have been gutted and the latter has been squandered on a slow model release schedule

      If the Tesla Board had any responsibilities at all, it was to prevent this by ejecting Elmo. They chose to not.

        The shareholders need to start calling out the clear bias of the boards constitution. Vanguard and iShares combined hold more shares than Elon does. It’s clearly doable, it’s just time for some adults in the room. If you hold Vanguard and iShares etfs in your accounts, don’t be afraid to let them know this.

      So is the implication that he’s just going to source all those things from a Chinese company? Basically the next Tesla and chargers will just be rebadged BYDs or whatever?
