This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Tesla has always been synonymous with cutting-edge technology.

Have you seen the Cybertruck? Those edges can cut for days...
He he, good one :-)
I have seen it on screen only. Fortunately, I live in a country where such tinkerboxes are illegal on public roads (except when you go ahead on foot and pull the thing on a string behind you).
Fingers vegetables and what have you. The hood took out 5 carrots at once with no effort!!!
One thing.
Tesla has never been known for luxury at all. I'd bet my ioniq phev was more luxurious and my 5 most definitely is.
Yeah, they're known for performance and AI features. You don't get a Model S for comfy seats or the suspension, you get it because it's fast and can drive by itself. Look at the marketing, it's all about the 0-60 time and the self-driving.
The Model 3 and Model Y are about branding (dude, you're driving a Tesla!), and the Model X is about form factor and almost everything the S is known for. They're not competing with Lexus and Cadillac, they're competing with Porsche and BMW.
Looks like a turning point.
Renault, VW and Hyundai have also increased their EV sales considerably in 2024 so far, while Tesla is moving down the lists.
So it's not just Chinese cars taking over due to artificial low pricing. I think consumers are getting more comfortable with EVs in general. Tesla no longer have the advantage of being "first" or long range or being perceived as exclusive luxury or whatever drove them to the top in the first place. Their design also looks pretty dated by now in my opinion.
Tesla is in the process of failing unless drastic action is taken.
IDK Musk is taking pretty drastic action, but I suspect that will make it fail faster.
They need to fire more people IMO, but only 1 more.
