Elon Musk Is Crying At The Prospect Of Having To Make Cheap Cars For Broke MAGAs
Always late to the party, the MAGAs are suddenly into Teslas and are confused about why ‘Leftists’ and liberals are ditching them.
I mean you’ve gotta hand it to Elon for convincing MAGAs that the only EV maker was Tesla, themselves once lacking in desire, and currently the incomes to afford electric drivetrains, not to mention the CEO/ founder hell bent on creating novel rich people machines, despite receiving millions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies and a market as wide as the grand canyon.
The Californian leftists that wanted a Tesla already have a Tesla, but are now embarrassed to own one. Almost no one wants to associate themselves with its CEO bond villain, even for a ‘good’ car, and ‘good’ is relative here because he’s better at lying to investors and raising capital.
Many EVs of the 2000s to the 2015s were ugly, boxy ‘city cars’ that were meant to be ‘functional & futuristic,’ at least that’s what they said to excuse the cheap manufacturing. If they weren’t sold on the benefits, these robotaxis would never have sold.
Elon Musk indeed changed the look and feel of EVs. Under his leadership, Tesla began making EVs that could deliver on the style component. However, that didn’t last long. Musk fell permanently on his ass with the release of the microwave in the Tesla Cybertruck and severed what was left of his company's future with what has to be the last seig heil.
Used car prices imploding and the burning of dealerships brave enough to hold inventory of new and used Teslas are the icing on the cake.
The current Tesla lineup consists of;
Two sedans; Model 3 & Model S. $42,000 & $80,000 respectively
Two crossovers; The Models X and Y. $80,000 in base form and $45,000 respectively
The microwave … I mean the Cybertruck, in it’s third year, it also starts at about $80,000.
Oops my bad! The Prices went up again… like they always do!!!
