    I wonder how much better Tesla quality would be if they dumped Elon. Is it a systemic problem, or just poor leadership?

      I’m hoping shareholders do push him out. They’re still in a great position to compete if they focus on the right things (build quality, designing cars people actually want, etc). The charging network is still the best around and they’re still ahead in battery tech, but they need to stop chasing FSD and give up on this cybertruck thing.

      They said they’re a tech company and the car is tech on wheel, so i guess it’s just competency and inexperience issue.

      Don’t you know that the revolution eats its children? The electric cars revolution is over. Tesla was part of the revolution. Now Tesla is obsolete and the others are going to take over.

      I doubt anything but a man child would have gone with stainless steel.

      But the normal Tesla build quality and gaps would still be there. Because that would involve major overhauls and retraining and is never going to happen while the company is successful… And won’t happen if the board is looking to sell
