I mean, I'm glad Tesla built a fix, but it's sort of tacky to ship a $75,000+ truck and then sell the fireproofing separately.

But the owner of the company is frenemies with the fucking president

Enemies? That whole feud was faked to save Tesla. People were boycotting them very successfully. Musk continues to work helping trump including again paying to help in midterms.

Unfortunately this stunt worked.

"this stunt worked" is relative.

Look at their sales chart . By comparison, Toyota moved 11-12 million.

Gravity is inevitable. 1.5 million units a year is a unsustainable failure if the stock price is $300+. They need to multiply it by something insane like 20x for the stock price to make sense.
