Once said, he cannot unsay it. I am sorry to say, Elon, that will make me out when the time comes.
Really? How many other piece of st CEO's exist? Do you not buy products from anyone who isnt a nice person? Ever bought anything from Amazon?

Its a car. The CEO doesnt come to your house along with it.
No, but CEO’s attitudes pervade an organisation.
I see he has apologised, but in a qualified way.
No, I did not buy from Amazon.
If any FTSE 100 CEO had said this, I suspect they wouldn't have a job now

Any decent person would apologise donate millions to a trust for the Thai kids, give the rescuers a good drink, and maybe set up a charity in their name.

No this man will just consult a bunch a lawyers. Scumbag.

Life is certainly more fun when not glued to your phone every waking moment. Try it, you might be surprised.

I imagine if the diver set up a Gofundme, he could be very well equipped with either cash to pay for lawyers, or lawyers offering to work for free. Deleting a Tweet that the world has already read doesn't undo anything - nor do apologies. Musk is just backtracking to try and limit the damage done, which I would think is considerable. Given the number of EVs in the pipeline that are as good as (or better than) his cars, I think he will lose a load of orders.
Entitled twcensoredat thinks that money can get him out of everything.

As a lawyer: please. Always try to sort differences on the human, not the legal level. Lawyers should be a last resort. Once you involve lawyers, you have a good chance of losing. In the majority of cases, only the lawyers win.

I read in another article the reasons behind cancellations.

'As pointed out by Motherboard, for a company that markets its vehicles as climate-friendly, low-emission “cars of the future,” it’s quite plainly hypocritical to donate heavily to a political party that supports oil-friendly policies and makes up almost all of the climate change deniers in Congress. For some people who chose to invest into Tesla’s self-described vision as an ethical car choice, this news was the last straw.''

This thread started Oct 2017 based on 'analysts' saying Tesla had too much debut and couldn't raise more money needed for Model 3 production - Tesla sorted that.

Than it moved to slow Model 3 production- Tesla has now sorted that.

Somewhere amongst the 47 pages is also stuff on production quality, profit margin etc etc - All of which Tesla has sorted.

Am amazed how much some people want Tesla to fail, as a car enthusiast I think Tesla is the best thing to happen to the motor industry in a long long time.

Tesla showed the world EVs have the potential to rival and beat the best combustion cars on the planet, whilst everyone else were busy making noddy EVs like the G Whizz.

Reviews of the Perfomance Model 3 is now appearing, sub 3.5 second 0-60, near instant torque delivery from 0rpm, the imminent arrival of 'track mode', all wrapped up in a 4 door small saloon body and yours for £60k.

The BMW M3 is loved for many reasons but mainly because of its ability to do the school run Monday to Friday and the track at weekends. The Performance Model 3 is shaping up to be the new benchmark for the sports saloon, regardless of drivetrain. Except running costs are pocket change. This is the ture potential of EVs been realised, and I cannot wait to drive one smile.

Queue a recent story of Tesla storing thousands of 3s in yards near the plant.

Narrative shifted from can't make enough to can't sell enough.

Even though there's a huge wait list and other car makers are doing the exact same thing because of local transport issues.

We all know BMW has failed because it doesn't have half a million orders, same for audi.

Also model s and x don't sell any more either /s

We also all know that BMW makes a profit which by your definition is failure. BMW make 400k X series cars alone a year. The one smarter thing than having 500k advanced reservations is actually delivering the cars

The thousands of Teslas in a yard is almost certainly a non story - when you make close to 1000 cars a day it doesn't take long to have a large buffer waiting to be shipped, but we also need to take our rose tinted glasses off where Tesla are. They're doing well, but they're far from out the woods
