Summary
Tesla warned the U.S. government that it could face retaliatory tariffs due to Trump’s trade policies, and those concerns are becoming reality.
Canada has started targeting Tesla by excluding its products from EV charger rebate programs, with officials considering removing Tesla from a $4,000 EV purchase rebate as well.
Canadian politicians, including NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, have proposed a 100% tariff on Tesla imports.
Tesla, reliant on Canadian and Mexican manufacturing, now faces backlash over CEO Elon Musk’s close ties to Trump and his trade war policies.
Maybe their CEO shouldn’t have made it his life’s mission to become the world’s biggest cunt, then.
They’ve entered the Find Out stage.
Takes a special kind of dipshit asshole to fail to recognize the entire reason they are as wealthy and powerful and beyond consequence is that they operate out of a runaway, uncontrolled, corrupt capitalist society and if they Fuck Around outside that box, they may rapidly and dramatically Find Out.
I hope he’s a slow learner. Watching this is too much fun.
I heard that people are trying to return their new Teslas and Cybertrucks because they are apparently infested with bedbugs?! I guess they are in the factories and dealerships and have just been crawling into the cars at night?
It wouldn’t surpise me if Elmo and the news are trying to keep a tight lid on it so people won’t find out, and Conspiracy nuts are saying that Tesla is torching their own Cybertrucks in the dealership lots to contain the spread.
I didnt belive it at first but a friend of mine took a Lyft in a Tesla the other night and started to feel itchy but the back seat was dark and she was on her phone. While she was getting out, she noticed a bunch of tiny spots on her dress and they were bedbugs!
Naturally she freaked the fuck out and the driver apologized profusely begging her not to give him a bad review before speeding off.
She refused to go into her apartment afterwardband spent a few hours in the laundry room practically naked running her clothes in the dryer! Apparently high heat is the only Way to get rid of them?
She’s still traumatized and insists she still feels them crawling on her even though an exterminator with a bedbug sniffing dog assured her the apartment was clear.
Has anyone else heard about this? It’s so messed up, considering they’re such expensive cars!
Seems like a lie. Bedbugs live in your walls and they come out at night. An old trick for getting rid of bedbug, fleas, scabies, and other parasites it’s to bag the affected material and leave it in your car for a few days. The high/low temps kills stuff pretty well.
If it was an Uber, the chances are that they picked up a person who had a bedbug or flea infestation, not that the car is permanently infested with the parasite. Also, you can bag and fume a car pretty cheaply. The idea that you would set fire to almost half a mil of inventory to get rid of a problem that can be solved with a single call to an exterminator seems ridiculous.
I suspect the point is not wether it is true but that it could be a message along the lines of a headline like “Does Tesla have a bedbug problem?”
I don’t understand why the board doesn’t just remove Elon or force him out or something.
Guess we get to witness The Rise and Fall of Tesla, coming to a Netflix near you.
I’ll post this image just to show how much insanely overvalued is Tesla stock. Is a meme stock and is closely tied to Elon musk
Tesla stock is still insanely overvalued due to fElon Musk’s attachment. It’s a symbiotic relationship and the best way for the world to bankrupt Elon “Mediocre” Musk.
It’s stupidly overvalued and yesterday I saw an article where one analyst gave it a $500+ target. Bullshit. Probably paid off.
I just cross my fingers he meets his maker soon.
The board is his family and close allies. They’re not going to go against him. Tesla = Musk. Anyone who’s a part of Tesla, including investors, is part of the nosedive into the pavement, just along for the ride at this point.
Just seems like a stupid ship to go down with, but I guess here I am going down with Ship America.
TF is it with these clueless bullies? They whine so hard when someone punches back.
Snowflakes
The term snowflake was invented for the regressives decades ago now. They like throwing the term back at us. They do this because it hurt the whiny little weaklings.
Get fucked Elmo.
Canadian here, idk what to say?
“k”
That should about sum this up.
Too close to an X for my taste.
Good. This should have happened in the few second between his first Nazi salute and his second, but better late than never.
Oh did they complain before they stole the $43 million in subsidies from us. No way they were selling a vehicle every two minutes last week…
How does that parable go? Reap what you sew?
It’s “sow” but yeah.
Fucking autocorrect can kiss my add
Ducking autocorrect, don’t get me started.
🦆
You rip what you sew
I ripped my jeans, but then I sewed them up again
“For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.”
All the Canadian companies that sell to them should raise the price too. Make it impossible for them to make their shit cars
I want to see more teslas burning on the lots. We’ve done a few, but I feel we can go further and burn better.
Years of “we’re no. 1” and “leader of the free world” propaganda has made Americans delulu to the point where they think their leaders are god-kings that can throw out edicts that will go unopposed. A lot of thus influence was soft power and reliance on allies for re-supplying and repairs, which is currently being dismantled.
This has been a long process, starting with browbeating military allies into the ironically named “coalition of the willing” during the second Iraq war. Now an openly fascist leader has been elected as a US president and is threatening wars of expansion. Interesting times ahead, I guess.
