MODERATORS
So all or nothing? Then you'll get nothing.
Good, fuck em. There's no negotiation here. I don't care if the entire company goes under. What great service is Tesla providing? Not enough mobile beta-testers riding bombs down the rosd? They do nothing for the people supporting them.
I guess a new company will have to rise up so entitled Californians can be tricked by marketing into thinking they're saving the planet when the batteries were mined by gas-powered machines using the same poor brown folk they feel sorry for on Bluesky.
Cry a river.
At this point, it would be tempting to have all their employees quit and start their own EV company, or join another one. It's not like the people vanish when a company folds.
This is the reason Tesla love H1B visas.
No one's going to fund a new company though. The old car companies have finally moved to EVs and will quash newcomers. Funders know this.
Telo is getting funded.
Aptera is doing another round of funding (for like the 7th time)
Slate immediately got funded by Bezos.
I think the market is pretty clear. People want cheaper, smaller, and more "every day" EVs, rather than the insanity 1.2 second 0-60 dystopian-proof luxury crossovers/trucks.
The first company to make that happen in their niche is going to make bank.
Telo started 3 years ago, probably pitching for VC a year or 2 longer. Things have changed a lot in the last 4 to 5 years.
Aptera was founded 2019, originally 2006. And a trike? Not gonna be mass market.
Slate also started 3 years ago. When the visions of getting rich off EVs was still dancing in everyone's head (not that bezos cares about that).
The business has moved. Smart money would not start a car company today without a competitive advantage like battery tech.
I'm pretty sure he means that there's no point in trying to please you because you'll always set a goalpost that can't be reached, so there's no point in really considering your opinion.
Maybe lemmy isn't for you.
Corporate apologists belong on Reddit with the rest of the fascists.
Yeah, why post on lemmy? Is there no path to redemption for Reddit? 😂
Hmmmm....
nope! Reddit's path is pretty well charted down the rabbithole of enshittery.
Is the appropriate response
Until they get rid of Spez, the greedy piggy boi?
What I find funny about this discussion is that the board is denying the reports that they're even trying to replace him. People want to redeem this company based upon rumors of myths of games of telephone that they might have thought about making a good decision once.
Haha oh really?
it's also a lot of buyer remorse I'm sure, most people who followed Tesla in the early days were excited about an ev vehicle that actually hits prediction in real numbers.
And while it's started to shift, there aren't that many other EV options. And considering that most people all need to buy used cars, those other ev options won't be available in much significant numbers for another 5 to 10 years when people start replacing their old vehicles and getting rid of them, so i guess it's also people who want to ask get an ev for less than 15 grand who would also like to see the company redeemed
