His car stock was diving, today, and they've had nothing, really, aside from that roadster that's in orbit, and years since its concept debut. Well, there's that godawful Etch-a-Sketch refugee "Cybertruck"...but, those are more of a matter of ridicule than anything, now. Their performance testing was, again, vaporware, they aren't nearly as good off road, and the "early orderers" are losing tons trying to flip them.
Their build quality, shortcomings in range, and frankly challenged aesthetics are very real issues. Helly, even the Hyundia/Kia electric stuff is better looking, less expensive, and much better value.
Tesla is only 4.7% below, or about $14, off its 52 week high. On the year its up its current value of $342 is up about $204 over the 52 week low.
Yes his other ventures have huge earning potential for him, but being dismissive about his place in the electric car game seems disingenuous. Besides, Teslas current focus i believe is no longer in the car itself, but the battery and the AI and self driving aspects. Theres no money in "me too" the money is in being the innovator, which is where they seem to be focused. Lots of happy Tesla owners out there.
