Tesla is now the most hated car brand in the USA. I've seen a few recently with stickers that cover the Tesla logos. Trying to hide their shame.

We bought ours before Elon went crazy. So I am not ashamed. It is a decent car. Hopefully it continues to be a good car for us.

Get rid of it. You might as well be clubbing baby seals!

You mean sell it so someone else can drive it? Or are you advocating destroying it or throwing it in a landfill?

What has Musk given China?

He just met with SecDef Hegseth yesterday to hear about the top-secret plans for a US China war. Quid pro quo.

There are over 6 million multi millionaires (and over) in China. Somebody makes money there since we buy a lot of their stuff.


And they want Teslas?

That has batteries that catch fire when wet?
that trap people inside?
that can't hold a charge for long?
that have panels that fall off?
that trap you inside if you drive into water?


That's certainly one way to take out the Chinese without a war, I guess.

You have been reading all the slanted press from the Elon haters. They don't catch on fire any more often than ICE cars. That's a proven fact. In fact they catch on fire less. They don't "trap" people. You are hearing about the rare cases because people like to ding on Tesla. They can hold a charge (WTF?). Any car can trap you inside if you drive into water. Geez. And panels that fall off is a Cybertruck thing. Most of the Teslas out there are not Cybertrucks.

I think Teslas were seen as fashionable in China. But all cars are suffering there now and that is why BYD wants to open a new plant in Germany. The market in China is overall soft these days.

Why would the Chinese but Model Ys when they can just make their own copies for less?

^ Actually I read that Tesla is shifting to buying BYD batteries for its cars since BYD batteries are now superior.


And they are using those batteries at their Berlin Germany plant.

I could see a scenario where Tesla sells its Berlin Germany plant to BYD. BYD cars are selling in Germany.

Well, he employs 20,000 people at the Gigafactory Shanghai. They make Model 3 and Model Y cars there. I believe he also has a battery production plant in China.
