How do you lose money selling electric cars when two oil critical straits are blocaded
By having your CEO come out as a fascist, pissing off the demographic that tends to buy EVs and also stagnating while allowing your competitors to catch up.
Sadly, their car sales are back up in Europe since unfortunately nobody has morals anymore. The real answer is "blowing your money on the next grift - AI and robotics"
Teslas are objectively last Gen. The only reason they still sell well in the US and some other markets is tariffs.
Other US companies are actually competing with them for market share now, too. It certainly isn't helping Tesla sell.
Also, Teslas are starting to get the reputation they deserve: overpriced shitbox vehicles that have horrible build quality because Musk has stripped anything good out of them for profit.
By pivoting to humanoid robots and LLMs.
In the US, the market has soured on EVs and the federal tax credits have gone away.
Outside the US, China is eating their lunch.
That makes sense because the country is ass backwards
