Killing S is really pretty insane. That’s Musk giving up on cars. In a smart company that’s a smart move if you have a new thing, and you want to prevent products doing self-canibalisation.

But this is the flagship car. The one CEOs, and high rollers use. These cars were sold with FSD often, and now they will be discontinued without that feature ever delivered.

But the stock will go up somehow, even though the car company just threw the towel, and is now betting on something that doesn’t even have a useful prototype yet.

This casino economy is getting wilder by the day.

It’s so he can go from S3XY to Y3.

Can we put him in a jail cell next to Ye?

This is really clever.

Not surprising that they are killing S and X

S, X and CT sold a combined 50,850 globally in 2025, down from 85,133 the year before. Actually 2025 was the lowest number since 2021.

Only surprising part is that they are not killing the CT and continue to promise the roadster.

So no longer S3XY as originally planned. Now 3YCTR? R3CTY?

I think they're only not 'discontinuing' the Cybertruck because they have a massive backlog of them to sell, and they don't want to spook the few potential buyers that remain.

They hace scaled them back though, discontinuing the cheapest RWD model, and a bunch of trim options. The writing is definitely on the wall.

Nazis deserve a punch in the face, not money.

Boycott Tesla and Nazi led companies. Do not buy their products, do not buy their stock. Ensure any investment funds you have are free of Nazis.

You'll know if the Tesla robots achieve general intelligence if they kill themselves or turn against their Nazi makers.

Ahhh, the robots designed to hunt us down for making fun of Bitch tits Mcketamine Musk.

I was legitimately wondering about this earlier. You know he’s gonna try and put some kind of loyalty kill switch into these things, so at what point does the government decide they don’t want some random billionaire building out a private army of robots?
