Summary
Tesla reported its worst quarterly results in four years, with Q1 income down 71% and EV sales falling 13%.
Elon Musk vowed to refocus on Tesla amid backlash over his political role in the Trump Administration’s DOGE program, but analysts doubt his return will fix worsening issues.
Tesla faces eroding market share, failed products like the Cybertruck, and a coming 145% tariff on imported Chinese battery cells set to hammer the company’s battery pack business, one of the only bright spots last quarter.
Musk’s pivot to robotaxis and humanoid robots lacks credibility, and critics say Tesla has no compelling new EVs to revive growth.
Step down from Doge, open the files and lay bare this administration.
Offer to buyback every single Cybertruck.
Appoint a board of directors elected by Tesla employees, with representatives from each department to manage the long term goals and policy of Tesla.
Make a low cost, highly configurable electric car. Essentially an electric 90’s Civic.
Or better yet. Pay me 500 million a year and I’ll do all of this for you.
The first disassembly line to recover the materials from the swastidumpter. Ha ha!
No, no. Finally build that new roadster and trucks! :)
