It’s time for a dose of cold, hard truth about Tesla and its so-called “innovative” plans. The liberal media is at it again, but don’t worry, because your favorite conservative news writer is here to set the record straight.
First of all, let’s talk about the CEO of Tesla, Mr. Elon Musk. That’s right, the same guy who’s always yapping about sending cars into space and building underground tunnels. Well, apparently, he’s been singing a different tune lately. Musk has been touting this so-called “low cost family car” for years, promising to make it affordable for the average Joe. But guess what? It looks like that promise has gone up in smoke, just like a SpaceX rocket on reentry.
According to sources (the ones that the liberal reporters love to fawn over), Tesla has decided to ditch its plans for the budget-friendly Model 2 and shift its focus to some self-driving taxi nonsense. So much for making cars for regular folks, huh? This move could really put a dent in the dreams of investors who thought Tesla was going to be the next big thing in the car industry. Looks like they might want to adjust their portfolios.
But wait, it gets better. Just a couple of months ago, Musk was telling everyone that the Model 2 would be hitting the streets by 2025, with a price tag of just $25,000. Yeah, right. Now it seems like that was all just a load of hot air. The cheapest Tesla you can get your hands on is the Model 3, and that’ll set you back a cool $39,000. So much for making electric cars accessible to the masses, Elon.
To top it all off, it looks like Chinese car companies are swooping in to steal Tesla’s thunder. BYD, one of those Chinese outfits, has already rolled out an electric vehicle that costs way less than what Tesla had promised for the Model 2. In fact, it’s priced at a mere $10,000 to $15,000, which will make your jaw drop faster than a Model S in Ludicrous Mode. And to add insult to injury, BYD is even planning to sell their cars in the good ol’ US of A at double the price and still undercut Tesla. Ouch.
But hey, at least Tesla’s stock is doing great, right? Wrong. The company’s market share might be fat and happy at $545 billion, but its stock has been tanking faster than a Cybertruck driving off a cliff. Last time anyone checked, Tesla’s shares had nosedived by a whopping 40%. That’s like losing a space shuttle full of cash.
And if all that wasn’t bad enough, Tesla is also dealing with a bunch of pesky lawsuits and investigations related to its Autopilot and self-driving systems. Seems like they can’t catch a break, can they?
So, there you have it, folks. The harsh reality of Tesla’s big promises and even bigger disappointments. Looks like the road ahead is looking bumpier than a pothole-filled street in need of some serious infrastructure spending. But hey, at least we can all sit back and watch the liberal media spin this mess into some kind of “innovation success story.” Keep dreaming, folks.
