After something like 7 or 9 price rises in the last year, Teslas are
massively overpriced. Tesla now makes the highest profit margin of any US
automaker. Interesting way to "change the world," eh?
My understanding is that they make the highest number of EV's of all the
manufactures (in th

There's lots of malaise Tesla - and all the manufacturers, for that
matter - could impose. For example, certain sensors could "stop working"
after some particular time. Or, the right rear door lock could stop
functioning properly. In the worst case, they could brick the car. It
may be difficult

Success can be found by selling

manufacturing is going.

I think Tesla started off right. Sell a very expensive high performance EV. It
let them figure things out on the way and provided good profit margins at low
volumes. BUT they did indicate the long goal was affordable EVs and they
touched that goal briefly before dropping ‘basic’ models in favor

Why not both?
