I thought Tesla was going to start building robots, instead of cars.
/somewhat sarcastically
This is my stupid fucking friend who can’t get off Elons nuts at all. It’s fucking sad. He literally bought a model Y the other day despite me telling him Rivian is about to release a competitor because he thinks he can add it to the robo taxi fleet in a year or two. God I love him and am sick of this shit.
To be fair, we will have full self driving by the end of the year, according to Elon every single year for the last decade.
Facts.

This anecdote provides insight to Tesla's remaining sales strategy. Like the stock itself, all there appears to be is hype and promise.

I would rather walk than buy a tesla
I would rather crawl over broken glass than give money to Nazi Musk for one of his Swasticars
It seems like there's a market for a company that will buy Teslas ultra cheap, modifies them heavily, then rebadges them like Alpine does for Renault, AMG does / did for Mercedes, Abarth for Fiat, etc.
These days those are all subsidiaries of the main brand, and even before that they had a cooperative relationship with the main brand. But, I can imagine a setup where the main brand doesn't support or approve of what the modifier company does.

From what Elon says to shareholders, Tesla is going to pivot to becoming a humanoid robot production company anyway, the cars are just a sideline. They axed two models when they announced that.

I figured something was up when I got a call out of the blue from the Tesla dealership asking if I wanted to upgrade my 2019 to a newer model. Joke's on them, though. I'm unemployed.
FSD: Full Stagnant Deliveries.
And then Trump closes the Straight of Hormuz and ev sales increase. The question is whether Tesla gets a boost.

Anecdote:
I was recently browsing an auto listing app for a used EV as I'm thinking about switching to an EV from my ICE hatchback, and the market near me is absolutely flooded with Teslas, primary model 3s. And it's not just "old" ones either. Tons of 2020-2024 models as well.
there are people in the world who buy new car because their 2 year old one is already too old.
Fun fact, while shopping for a car in 2022, we looked at a used 2021 bmw x5. I wondered what they replaced it with and the salesman said "oh, he traded it in for a 2022 x5 of the exact same trim". They know him well because every year he comes in and trades in to make sure he is never driving "last year's model".
Particularly stupid because that was the year of shortages where they actually made the new model worse by removing features they couldn't get supply for, other than removing features, the new car was unchanged from prior year.
