Tesla sales are down. What a surprise...

I have never been a fan of Teslas. I am a fan of EVs, however, and there is just a lot of quality vehicles out there and most of them have a dashboard, which IMHO should be a requirement, as well as normal placement of things like turn signal controls and window wiper controls.

I know some of you just dislike cars in general and I respect that. I love walking and biking as well, but sometimes I need to drive and then I prefer EVs.

www.bbc.comTesla sales unexpectedly plunge after Elon Musk backlashThe car maker's sales slide has been attributed to competition and controversy around its boss.

EXACTLY what a #SOCIOPATH would say:

#ElonMusk has a…diagnosis of what’s *ailing* #America: It’s being destroyed by #empathy. In a long interview w/Joe Rogan, in numerous tweets…, #Musk has argued that “empathy” is a “suicidal” trait that is a driving force behind civilizational extinction. It is time, he believes, for “the West”…to bar its doors to #immigrants of a *certain type* & endure “temporary hardship” so govt can be transformed & “the woke mind virus will die.”

@nonproductive @GottaLaff A forensic accountant would be the best kind of person to determine what is what in terms of the #elonmusk financial situation, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once, so I'll throw in my .02.

If E-loon did what many rich folk do and borrowed against his #tesla shares to avoid taxes (and to finance Shitter purchase), one ofthe best things that could happen would be for Tesla stock to drop in value. If it went low enough in value, the pasty bastard would have to either pour more money in to cover margins or lose the stock. While that might not bankrupt him outright, it would reduce his power and influence and force his attention elsewhere.

Then maybe he could get deported to his country of origin.
