    Nazis deserve a punch in the face, not money.

    Boycott Tesla and Nazi led companies. Do not buy their products, do not buy their stock. Ensure any investment funds you have are free of Nazis.

    So basically the cars are not selling, but he doesn’t want to be seen to be closing the factories.

      This. They’ll shut down for retooling, open up to churn out a small number of robots that do nothing, and claim success while firing most of the staff.

        Well the contract he signed for ~$1 trillion by 2035 specifies he has to deploy 1 million robots and 1 million robo-taxis. Which I can see happening.

        The issue I see with it is he has to get Tesla car deliveries up to 20 million a year. To put that into perspective, new car sales in the U.S. has never hit 20 million vehicles that I know of. Globally I just saw their sales were at less than 2 million.

        So chopping the $80,000+ models and keeping the ~$40,000 models that make up 97% of their sales makes sense. He needs something that will gather a lot of new sales, and there aren’t mass amounts of people with $100k to buy a new car.

    Damn. It’s the end then. That can only mean the robots are ready for the streets. Literally, THE STREETS.

    Think about it. He’s in the government (non-elected) and they are deploying ICE agents everywhere.

    The robots will 100% be seen standing at street corners “keeping the peace” within a year.

    Omfg am I crazy, or is this realistic? Please just tell me I’m wrong and there’s no chance.

      You’re not crazy, but it won’t be Elon who does it. The Tesla robots are nowhere near ready for production. This is vaporware, just like the Roadster.

      You’re not crazy, just slightly panicked. They won’t be in the streets within a year. It will certainly take at least TWO years to get there ! Please, lets all remain reasonable.
