Tesla’s 10-year maintenance and repair costs are the most affordable in the automotive industry, as shown in a new data analysis publicized last week.

The total 10-year cost of maintaining and repairing a Tesla is the cheapest in the industry, according to a data analysis shared by Consumer Reports on Friday. The data showed that, over the course of a decade, Teslas averaged just $4,035 in maintenance and repair costs, compared to those of automakers Land Rover and Porsche, which landed at $19,250 and $14,090, respectively.

Four out of five of the least expensive brands to maintain were U.S. companies, including Tesla, Buick, Lincoln, and Ford.

Elon Sorry For Calling Asana CEO 'R*tard': 'I Meant He's a Pompous *diot With Head Up His A*s'

 

Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz has escalated his attacks on Tesla, calling it "the next Enron" as the Elon Musk-led automobile company faces a turbulent month.

 

Moskovitz, who previously accused Musk of delaying development of EVs by "overpromising," took to Meta's Thread on Wednesday with fresh criticism. Moskovitz's post alleges Tesla has misled consumers "on a massive scale," specifically regarding their Full-Self Driving (FSD) software and advertised vehicle ranges.

 

Instead of responding directly to Moskovitz's allegations, Musk resorted to personal attacks on the Facebook co-founder on X, using insults and a slur. "I'd like to apologize to Dustin Moskovitz for calling him a retard," the tech mogul wrote in a follow-up post.

Supreme Court rejects Musk appeal over social media posts that must be approved by Tesla

 

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from Elon Musk over a settlement with securities regulators that requires him to get approval in advance of some social media posts that relate to Tesla, the electric vehicle company he leads.

 

The justices did not comment in leaving in place lower-court rulings against Musk, who complained that the requirement amounts to “prior restraint” on his speech in violation of the First Amendment.

 

The case stems from messages Musk posted on Twitter in 2018 in which he claimed he had secured funding to take Tesla private. The tweets caused the company’s share price to jump and led to a temporary halt in trading.

 

The settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission included a requirement that his posts on Twitter, now known as X, be approved first by a Tesla attorney. It also called for Musk and Tesla to pay civil fines over the tweets in which Musk said he had “funding secured” to take Tesla private at $420 per share.

 

The funding wasn’t secured, and Tesla remains public.

Customers not turned off by Musk's antics instead are losing interest with a product line up of two EVs that are ancient in car years (the Models S and X) 

 

 

uh, no… they just did a large update for both of them. FORD  has been selling explorers for 30 plus years…. The biggest thing hurting Tesla right now is interest rates. No one wants to pay 10 percent on a 90k car. And now the payback period on solar is at least 15-20 years. Not great.

 


even as both of its partially automated driver assistance systems face recalls and investigations here in the US and in China.
 

There was no real recall. The made warnings more noticeable. And what drivers assistance software isn’t under investigation? (They all should be, and most of them are)

 

China just approved the release of fsd.

I can’t really see why they would fire everyone working on superchargers. But I do know they have been outsourcing the installation of them to BP among others.
 

I’m guessing now that counties governments are requiring ev charging networks to be open to all cars, it’s no longer a strategic advantage to have the charging infrastructure vertically integrated. But it seems like it would still be a money maker for Tesla. Maybe they will just license their tech.

 

 

 

Factual inaccuracies aside, the article itself is written horribly.

Lol no the biggest thing hurting Tesla right now is that their CEO Is a schmuck and their most recent release had to be recalled cuz it's a ****ing death trap. 🤣 

There are a lot of successful companies whose CEOs are shucks and latest product gets recalled. Abbot comes to mind… so those are factors, but not the biggest ones.

Tesla sold just under 387,000 vehicles in the first quarter, down 20% from the prior quarter and 8.5% from the previous year. 

 

And yes even well established car companies like GM n Ford sales were down. 1-3% but not 20%. Tho from what I've read those companies sales were doing well up until the auto workers strike towards the end of last year. It's the interest rates tho. 🤪

You know, there are professional market research firms who actually survey customers about what products they would consider buying. These show that 'Tesla consideration' has dropped from 70% to close to 30% since Musk took over Twitter. That's gotta hurt your sales if more than half your potential customers won't even consider your product anymore.

And who the **** is paying 10% interest rates on a 90k car? Tesla's own rates are at or under 6% with decent credit.

6 percent is still a lot more than 1 percent…

 

the consideration score article is trash, since the most recent polling is up and the biggest drop happened two years ago.  At a time when prices were at their peak.
