The only thing tesla ever had going for it was being first.

They haven’t innovated and instead build increasingly worse cars.

Do you enjoy receiving a brand new vehicle which then immediately needs to go to a garage to actually fit the panels correctly?

Buy muski boys shitheaps

Tesla wasn't first but they were the only ones to really break through, finally, and make EVs viable. So many failed attempts by others up to that point. Getting past the fossil fuel mentality and industry pressures was never a given.

But he's throwing all of that lead in the trash.

Sure, I don’t disagree. I should have said “first to make them viable”, like you have correctly stated

I was into the Cybertruck until Elon dropped the $40k trim.. I really wanted a basic truck that was viable as a daily driver.

Watching musk over the years running his companies into the ground, I always assumed that trim would never materialise

Well he bought Maxwell batteries for their dry coat process, but it isn't scaling well
