Please explain what those "quality issues" are and how other cars do not have those "quality issues". Have you driven a Tesla? Just curious.


It’s got nearly the worst rating of any brand: https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/29/23188085/jd-pow...2022-tesla-polestar-ev-decline

Yes, I actually own a 3. It’s really fun to drive, but it’s definitely lower quality than my Audi.

They will always lose market share, but they will not lose market. They will always sell more cars than the previous year. When you start off at 80% market share, there is no where to go but down. However, there will always be a greater market for EVs. Tesla projects that they will be at 20% market share when everyone else is selling as well. This will still be more vehicles than they sell now (by far).


What's that projection based on though? Teslas have been popular because for a long time they were the only EVs that were any good so if you wanted an EV, Tesla was it. But they have a lot of issues that buyers had to overlook. There are finally other good EVs coming to market and buyers won't have to overlook the big quality issues with Teslas.

There are many people who see the car as a car and not as being "associated with his brand". It's a decent car all politics aside. Well off families come in all flavors and EVs are not just for families "who care about the environment". Plus it's international in its reach.


Well off conservative families buy trucks and large SUVs. Teslas are primarily sold in very blue areas and there are comparable EVs without the political baggage

At what point does Elon become a liability? How much of their potential market won't buy a Tesla because of him? It seems like their target demographic is well off families who care about the environment. I'm not sure how much longer those people will want to be associated with his brand.

TSLA is overpriced. From here on out, it's going to lose markeshare every year. I was going to buy a Ford Lightning, but after the real world reviews (range is lower than advertised), I'm now looking at the BMW iX.
