Economy WSJ reports Tesla is looking to Replace Elon as CEO

[chardog]

Using his fame and wealth to have sex with the most beautiful women possible is the one thing he does that makes sense to me.

I'm not sure he's actually having that much sex.......... he's the type of genius that seems to reject sex despite having a bunch of kids. I'm not that convinced that he's some sort of women master, he does have cuck like tendencies, and his actions are publicized.

 

[chardog]

You would think he would keep a large portion of the shares to prevent this

Musk is a majority shareholder, usually, big companies like this are owned by blackrock or vanguard........

I said nothing on marketshare

You literally opened with a "its the best selling car in China".

try to move goalposts. what can I say, not really into your games Fedor23

I was criticizing bad decisions like the Cyberflop and cancelling Model 2, so you went

"Well model 3 is the most sold car in China"

To which i replied

"Sure, but its losing ground every single year to other brands"

And you went

"Well, who cares about what car sells more relative to others".

Tesla’s UK, Germany new car sales at two-year low in April even as EV demand rises​

Tesla’s new car sales in Britain and Germany plummeted to their lowest in over two years in April, falling 62% and 46% year-on-year respectively, even as demand for electric vehicles rose in both countries, national data showed on Tuesday.

Sales of billionaire Elon Musk’s EV cars also plunged to multi-year lows in some other key European markets last month, national data showed last week, as Tesla prepares to counter competition from European and Chinese EV brands with the launch of a revamped Model Y.

The brand’s sales in Germany dropped to 885 cars in April, a fourth month of declines this year amounting to a cumulative year-to-date drop of over 60%, data from road traffic agency KBA showed.

Britain had bucked the gloomy European trend for Tesla so far this year, but last month, 512 new cars were sold, down from 1,352 in April 2024, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).

This led to a year-to-date EV market share of 9.3% for Tesla in the UK, data from research group New AutoMotive showed. That’s down from 12.5% a year ago, according to the research group’s data.

Tesla’s websites in Germany and Britain say that estimated deliveries of the revamped Model Y will start in June, but it will take a couple of months before sales data shows if the updated version has won back customers.

Musk’s closeness to President Donald Trump, his politics and efforts to eliminate waste at U.S. governmental agencies have spurred protests against him and the company, as well as vandalism at its showrooms and charging stations across the U.S. and Europe.




After the brand’s first-quarter global sales and profit missed estimates, Musk said two weeks ago he would cut back on the time he devotes to the Trump administration and spend more time running the company.

Overall car sales in Germany dropped by 0.2% in April, but those of electric vehicles grew by 53.5%, KBA said.

In Britain, battery-electric car registrations increased by 8.1% in the month, while total car sales were down 10.4%, the SMMT data showed.

EV sales in the UK slowed from the previous month due to broader economic conditions, New AutoMotive said.

However, Volkswagen’s battery-electric sales in the country jumped 194% to 2,314 vehicles last month, while registrations of China’s BYD were up 311% to 1,419 cars, the research group said.

Truly npc stuff, love your commitment, even if it’s based on incorrect assumptions

Tesla ship is sunk.
"

• esla was lapped by Chinese carmakers in the UK last month.
• The Chinese brand Jaecoo sold nearly twice as many cars as Tesla as the EV giant's sales collapsed.
• Tesla is under pressure in Europe amid protests over Elon Musk's politics and strong competition.

Tesla is having a nightmare in Europe — and now it's been overtaken in the UK by two Chinese carmakers."

"Truly NPC stuff" says the guy who thinks Elon was right to delay and then cancel Model 2 in favor of robotaxis and Cybertrash.

Pffft doesn't matters according to @chardog affordable cars are just NPC stuff, once the Hyperloop and the Robotaxis hit the market Elon will be rich enough to buy the world and Tesla will turn things around.

This is what happens a liberal group and a group of veterans get together in the UK and buy a Tesla Model 3 to destroy.

3.- Also he not only refuses to accept that he made a mistake with the Cybertruck, he cancelled the Model 2 because "Tesla isn't in the business of selling cars" apparently and now wants to push a retard robotaxi idea despite the tech and regulatory framework not being mature enough and that it would barely break even in the best case scenario compared to the defunct Model 2.

Once again you embarrass yourself proving you are just a media parrot incapable of thinking for yourself. The truth as stated by Tesla in their latest earnings report is they are on track to launch those new models they promised on schedule. What cancellation are you talking about?

Also, turning a profit off that abomination within a year while getting productivity out of a newly built factory in the United States (I know it hurts you that it isn't in China) is a mistake, then you've got to give him credit that even his mistakes are way better than most people's successes.

 

[ShadowRun]

Has he been replaced yet?

 

[WklySportsMemes]

Starts company and is later removed. How does it get to this? I am not defending elon, he is a twat waffle, but it still shocks me that one can be removed from the company they started. But imagine the payout he will get

Or not. I have no interest. Boards have so much power and audacity these days

He didn't start Tesla. He was an early investor who became a board member & used his money and board tactics to take control & oust the real geniuses & innovators.

Even more ironically all this was after insufferable Elon was booted from CEO of PayPal.

Its buisness as usual. Any public company who has had a leader who directly sunk the company with no accountability or care deserves to at the very least have their job on the line.

I'm not sure what job or position wouldn't have somebody on a hot seat if they literally committed actions that cost the company & it's investors an astronomical amount in sales and share prices. Along with horrible press. Nationally & internationally.

Not sure how a board doing their job to stop the slide is "audacity ?????"
Because he's a celebrity?????

If a Tesla or any corporate employee was a top performer at their position for even like a decade....then had multiple more recent years of poor performance and decision making that cost the company money they would get fired. Or at the very least have their job on the line. Works the same for a CEO, even if people worship his celebrity.

They promised Model 2 on 2024, i guess once they add the flux capacitor to the Tesla X they can go back in time to release Model 2 on schedule.

Also, turning a profit off that abomination within a year while getting productivity out of a newly built factory in the United States (I know it hurts you that it isn't in China) is a mistake, then you've got to give him credit that even his mistakes are way better than most people's successes.

The fuck are you on about? Cybertruck is not making any sort of money and the loss of revenue by failing to launch Model 2 on time is already see via Tesla despite having such a large lead is now behind BYD.

So you are telling me when Tesla officially published and reported to shareholders in this document that "Cybertruck production increased sequentially and achieved a positive gross margin for the first time" they were lying because you know better and will prove it based on the evidence you will surely post.

I can't post a document proving something that never happened didn't happen, but I'm sure you will post a document showing even one statement where Tesla talked about a Model 2.

does the warranty coverage include being ran over by a tank?

 

[Rod1]

Wow, so they were actually making them at a loss, and gross margin doesn't includes production investment, nor they also include R&D

Your document also shows that Tesla made a 125,000 unit a year investment in production capacity for the Cybertruck, this is even worse than i thought.

In 2024 they sold less than 40k and sales are dropping not increasing.

JFC im googling more about it and they have only sold 6k units in 1Q 2025, its a fucking bloodbath, they will barely sell 1/4th of the installed capacity at this point.

post a document showing even one statement where Tesla talked about a Model 2.

Your argument is that Tesla didn't cancelled or delayed Model 2 because they haven't talked about it at all.

JFC say that out loud man and realize how stupid you sound, Tesla invested god knows how many billions trying to enter the pickup market and its product flopped hard, now you claim it was the plan all along, meanwhile the Model 2 isn't even on the horizon at this point while Tesla despite having more than a decade of lead is being outsold now by a fucking CELLPHONE company.

@Cartiac

This was from 2020

' Customer research? We just made a car we thought was awesome and looks super weird. I just wanted to make a futuristic battle tank — something that looks like it could come out of Blade Runner or Aliens or something like that but was also highly functional. '
‘ Wasn't super worried about that because if it turns out nobody wants to buy a weird-looking truck, we'll build a normal truck, no problem. There's lots of normal trucks out there that look pretty much the same; you can hardly tell the difference. And sure, we could just do some copycat truck; that's easy. So that's our fallback strategy. ‘

Hey, at least Elon may get a job at Disney once he gets sacked, they love to try stupid shit nobody wants anyway.

So to continue supporting your stupid position, you now have to create your own accounting principles. I also just love how you post the source of your stupid positions, but thank you for not doing so because no one wants to see your ass.

I honestly can't even make sense of the rest of the words you typed to even make a poor attempt at a witty response, put the pipe down my friend.
