Tesla's value plunged nearly $200 billion since mid-July – and the EV maker faces a bumpy road ahead::Tesla shares closed Tuesday at just over $233, well down on their 2023 peak of $291.

Swing and a miss, sparky. I’ve been driving electric for the last 7 years but have no interest in Tesla for a wide variety of reasons.

Also I literally told you why I don’t like them — there are only 4 of them and they all look the same; do you think maybe the fact that they’ve become so ubiquitous over the last few years and so samey could contribute to changed perceptions of them? What’s new in 2017 is old in 2023.

Just try and be a better person/contributor around here. Smarten up.

Oh noooooo. Thanks for that single issue that's entirely subjective.

Meanwhile; they provide the best performance for the price, putting exotics 0-60 to shame. Have the best charging infrastructure. Get great range despite the recent hit pieces.

But no, they're just copy/paste pieces of shit. All hail anybody but Elon!

They’re fine cars, they need a refresh is all. You’re reading way too much into this. They’re not copy-paste, they’re ubiquitous and as exciting as a Honda Civic in terms of looks, to me at least. 0-60 time is fun, but so are physical buttons.

All hail anybody but Elon!

You know he’s never going to marry you though, right?

What? I thought you said this WASN'T r/technology?

[–] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only person bringing up Elon Musk is you. The only person offended (apparently) on behalf of Elon Musk is you. Sort yourself out.

[–] ThePac@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I couldn't give a fuck about Musk. He could die tomorrow and I'd say "Good for him." What I think is hilarious is the assumption by you and others in these comments that my drive to correct them stems from some love of the ugy.

Sort yourself out.

I couldn’t give a fuck about Musk.

Says the guy who a.) brings him up in a discussion that wasn’t about him and b.) doesn’t know where he is. Sure.

I see inferring from context isn't your strong suite.

[–] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

“I don’t like the cars that much because they’re boring”

You infer —> “You don’t like Elon”

Oh please continue to teach me what I meant by what I said, oh master of inference.

[–] ThePac@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

Again, reading comprehension.... get some. My original "All hail anybody but Elon!" was aimed generally at the migrated r/technology chuds.

Do you see yourself in this video, or do you lack that level of introspection?
