  1. Can’t market to people – because people hate Musk – but he can still sell safely to businesses.

  2. Makes sense. The S is a 14 year old design at this point. It also heavily overlaps with the Model 3. So premium trims of the Model 3 can accomplish what the Model S is.

    Basically same concept for Models X/Y

    Obligatory Musk Sucks.

  3. He paid for the initial designs but has no team to design a new replacement. That’s why he’s milked them for so long.

  4. Honestly, I think the Model S is still very, very pretty. As much as I hate many things about Tesla (and to be clear, I’m absolutely pro-EV), I have to admit that they hit the Model S design out of the park. And every other vehicle they make is, at best, “slightly oddly proportioned” (the Model 3…all of the rest are just flat out ugly.)

  5. The most successful thing Elon has done is bankroll SpaceX into existence. I’ll never talk shit about the madlad engineers that sold their soul to actually create reusable rockets that can land on a floating pad in the ocean, dedicating years of long hard work to make it happen.

    Starlink could’ve been another one, but given who runs it I can never trust it for use myself.

    Dude thinks he’s Stark when he’s really Hammer.

    They probably just don’t want these models to be confused with the upcoming models SS and swastika.

  7. Surely they will be able to sell their baby mechahitler robots to the people who refuse to buy their cars

    Let’s make 2-door “autonomous” taxi cars instead. Because everyone knows that ample seating and accessibility are of no use when building a taxi vehicle.

    But wait…

    > [Musk said] “So if you’re interested in buying a Model S and X, now would be the time to order it.”

    Or maybe he’s just trying to shore up some false threats of scarcity to try to pump up sales, and Tesla will quietly forget he ever said this and still continue making them.
