    I already wrote this on the other thread, but it’s because people aren’t buying the S and X. They were like 3% of Tesla sales last year. He kept them going for 10 years longer than he should have just so he could have Tesla models S, 3, X and Y.

        The 3 and Y are roughly $40k and are somewhat usable cars for that price range (if you exclude Chinese EVs), hence people buying them. The S and X are “luxury” and start at roughly 100k. Elon stans either don’t have 100k, already owned one of these, or are aiming for a cybertruck.

          Oh, I just meant the incredibly sad S3XY thing. The economics of the world’s first fully automated family annihilator are at least explicable. 😄
