That's your choice. I'm waiting for the far cheaper EVs to flood the market. Your Tesla will go the way of the Atari 800.

They aren't going to flood the market. Only very few "righteous" AND loaded libs will sell their Teslas to buy other EVs. And no way conservatives warming up to EV market are going to buy foreign made EVs and not Teslas. You are dreaming. They will be around, but they won't "flood". I am sitting on the sidelines, but will look at it as a buying opportunity when the time comes. Right now it's too volatile for me to invest because of politically unstable situation with regards to this specific stock. It will depend on when terrorizing of Tesla owners and potential buyers will end. Once it ends, I think stock will go up.

Where are these unicorns?

If you keep telling a certain segment of the population that climate change is a myth,.they are going to believe it.

Lol that you think conservatives wanting to buy EVs are unicorns. I already posted upthread that I am the one such person.

I was never particularly interested in EVs because of the cost and the fact that the environmental claims were somewhat dubious (see: lithium mining, etc.).

But now you can get a Tesla in the low $40Ks. Further, we all need to buy cars periodically, and if we conservatives can, at the same time, support a national hero, who is bringing decades’ worth of policy goals to fruition, why would we not do that?

You think only a rare unicorn will adopt that viewpoint, lol?

They don’t turn a profit and haven’t sufficiently scaled. Also, banks don’t lend 1:1 on speculative capital. There would be a large haircut on lending with this equity because no bank would want to run SpaceX/Starkink while they offload private market shares.

I don't understand why there is so much hate for Tesla cars. They are great cars that are made by an American company. If you all want to support BYD, go ahead. But don't complain when our technology falls far behind and we are dependent upon China for even more things. I can understand if you say that the Ford or GM EVs are good and you will buy one of those. That would be great. It would be great if you bought GM or Ford stock to help them out. But what I am hearing on here is that no company (including Tesla) in the US can build a competitive EV. This is not good.

Without Tesla, Ford and GM never would have started building EVs. So that might be Tesla's legacy and it's not a bad one overall. Whether Ford and GM can compete with BYD is anyone's guess.

I doubt it. Besides all the aforementioned issues he bet a lot on the cybertruck which is turning into one of the least popular and least reliable cars in history. Body panels falling off, isn't allowed to get wet, and gets completely written after an accident because of the unibody construction.

At this point Tesla's main asset is its chargers and charging network. We'll see what happens with the refreshes but their core products have become staid at the same time as Musk and the Cybertruck are destroying the brand. That's a bad combination, especially since BYD is producing cars that are more luxurious, more reliable, more advanced AND cheaper.

Recognizing this unfortunate reality doesn't fit your narrative, maybe just don't buy the stock?

It's your choice if you want to drive such an unsafe car. But anyway, the topic is Tesla stock. And yes, it's a terrible investment. The company is not long-term viable.

Stop your nonsense with "unsafe" car. You know why it's "unsafe", it's because your moron "activists" are burning them down! And other morons are trying to drive erratically to annoy and "protest" against regular Tesla drivers. And idiots vandalizing the cars, so that owners are afraid to use them. It's bullying and terrorizing people. It's not protesting and it's not "boycotting". It's criminal behavior. Once arsonists start getting harsh legal punishment see how quickly Teslas will stop burning. Once someone gets into a deadly accident due to erratic driving behavior next to Teslas on the road, see how quickly others start thinking twice doing this. Once they target a wrong Tesla owner and they are armed, see how quickly this BS will stop.
