    Lol. Tesla stock down 30% since June.

    Tesla, seriously, that roaring sound that’s rising in pitch is y’all about to slam into the ground. Eject the dead weight already.

        Yup, keep riding that baby down. I bought in 2011, sold 2021. Thanks for buying me a house!

        Now I get to watch that child Elon fuck up this golden goose, and I don’t have to lose money while I laugh!

          Oh I don’t own the stock. But you can’t deny that it’s been a great asset for anyone that got in early. Saying it’s down 30% from 6 months ago without looking at the big picture is short sighted.

          Also, fuck Elon

            The stock is down 30% since June, if you want more context, it’s lower now than it was January 2021. Meaning if you’ve been holding Tesla stock for 3 years, you are in the red. This In a period where inflation has also undermined the value.

            Seems to me that a warning that Tesla might not be a good stock to hold anymore is in order.

            The big picture is that Tesla is really only worth 5-10% of the current market cap, when you compare to for instance VW.

            Ignoring that the market cap is higher than the combined market cap of all other car manufacturers, whilst producing not even half as many cars as VW alone, is also short sighted. The stock is vastly overrated and will correct itself one day. The question is just when that day is going to come

        My dude, even legacy stocks that pay dividends like fucking Costco and Microsoft are up 250+% the past 5 years. The market has been absolutely bonkers the past 5 years, and acting like Tesla is some incredible investment and not just a meme gambling stock is pretty hilarious.

    Imagine spending 80K on a truck that starts rusting in days. Oh the poor Elon Musk’s s***ers. It might be a really hard blow to feel that betrayed by their idol.

    This cybertruck fiasco is getting more ridiculous by the day.

    I saw one in person 2 days ago. I took a picture, and none of my coworkers think it’s a real picture (or that I took it).

    It was surreal. I could see it coming from WAY down the road and I was thinking to myself “there is absolutely no way I am seeing a cybertruck right now”

    I am dumbfounded they actually made them. I still can’t believe what I saw the other day

    Can’t wait to see what happens when one gets dinged by road gravel, it’s going to be even uglier.

    Oh and about that 5-6k coating that will prevent the rust? It’ll just prevent you from seeing the rust, don’t worry, the rust will get there, it always does, that’s one of a dozen reasons why steel has been moved away from for decades.

        Yeah it’s like “I actually like getting brutally raped at the dealership, excited to get my backside exploded!”

        Yes this forum sounds a lot like Elon’s exclusive club, where you are not allowed to say anything critical of the godfather or his products.

      One of the replies in that thread:

      I’m know I’m a weirdo but I actually kinda like the corrosion and hopefully the associated patina that will come with it.

      Wow.
