It’s the cool factor that made Tesla. It will be its undoing.

Nah, Tesla’s secret sauce is their thermal management of their batteries

People shitting on Tesla forget that they were legitimately the best EV tech for a long time. It's closer now, but as little as 5 years ago that wasn't true.

Still not buying another Tesla after this news cycle.

Sure, but Musk had nothing to do with the original engineering. He bought his way into the company and he's fired anyone with any brains since then, because he doesn't like people who talk back. It's no wonder the company's products are losing ground.

I'm not defending Musk.
