Imagine:
You have parking lots full of your cars that can't sell because your CEO is basically in the top 5 of horrible humans.
You have horror stories about kids burning alive in the cars because they couldn't open the doors.
You have a Rapper, with social following, in Detroit, Motor City, with a 100k model of your car who makes a song about how you're fucking up, and you shut down his 100k car and send a c&d.
Could you imagine a PR department being this bad at its job?
He could make a music video burning the thing to the ground and make his money back.
I thought Tesla fired their PR department?
No they just replaced it with a keyboard in a room full of cats with grok interpreting the random input.
They would never care for a room of cats. They just put the keyboard under the front door mat.
I'm sure somebody is taking responsibility for it. You can't do stupid shit and not have somebody else to fire.
That's strange you don't think the PR department takes its marching orders from their furher directly
