Economy Prediction: Musks will drag down the Tesla brand and hurt sales significantly in 2025

My whole point is that this isn’t even remotely close to the biggest drop in price that we have seen from Tesla and that trying to guess what a stock is going to do and how it’s going to perform based on a two month timespan doesn’t work. As a matter of fact, in the grand scheme of things the current dip in the price isn’t anything that the stock hasn’t experienced before and rebounded.

Tesla maybe be losing small segments of the EU, but it is also gaining India. I think it will be okay for them.

Personally, I do hope Tesla flops. I’ve always been a Rivian guy myself. But it’s not going to.

India?

Do they suddenly have a good value proposition the rest of the world hasn't seen because that's the only way they're doing shit in India.

Yeah, unless India has major tariffs on Chinese cars, all these cheaper Chinese EV makers should be eating Tesla's lunch. They've got a big population but most of them aren't rich enough to choose a more expensive Tesla over a Chinese EV that costs half as much

BYD has overtaken Tesla in the UK.

That didn't take long at all.

it's a fraction of the price, and it's quite deceptive to compare the two, as they are non competing models......

that said, good for them, providing an inexpensive model for more to access. it's a subcompact hatchback and those types of vehicles are not very popular in america. I do hope they will come to america for the masses, and this should start the conversation of ending auto insurance, those BYD's will start carrying full self driving standard in all their vehicles, incredible value that will bring safety all around.

I'm pretty sure, India has tarriffs on all vehicles.

India also has a pretty terrible power infrastructure, they experience browns outs and blackouts pretty much all over the country still.

Also, January is dead time for car sales in the UK, so it probably doesn't matter that much anyway.

I suppose the threat to Tesla is that BYD are establishing a foothold as quickly as they are.

And price, yeah, Tesla absolutely needs a cheap vehicle. It's pretty insane not to offer anything even close to that price point if they're expecting top sales.

I was noticing a few things here. BYD surprisingly sells more EVs and nobody cares or knows who the CEO of BYD is. Price and functionality are more important from the average consumers' point of view. Same thing with all other brands. Tesla is probably the only exception because Musk is particularly charismatic and much more famous than all these other guys.

I should have shorted this piece of fucking shit. Would have been a nice return. I knew Elmo was in the process of self-immolation but I didn’t know it was going to be a speed run.

Who is cheering?

Rubbing your nose in the result of bad policy which you were told was bad isn't cheering.

It's more like gloating.
