Tesla Sales Down Bigly

Bam- your assertion of Optima replacing 10% of human labor would cause a collapse of the economy in lost wages and taxes. There's a fine line between helping and changing labor costs vs dissolution of them and watching Musk get richer while the US grinds to a halt. You won't need labor when nobody has money to buy anything. AI might make some things better but his shitty robots aren't gonna sell like hotcakes

You might be able to afford one now;

Cadillac Lyriq sales have seen significant fluctuations, with a notable increase in 2024 where it sold 28,402 units, making it the best-selling electric mid-size luxury SUV in America. However, in Q2 2025, sales dropped sharply, with a 31% decline year-over-year, totaling 5,017 units in the U.S.

Tesla sales showed a drop in overall sales of 9% YOY. Stock is down 12 n change today.... I know GM and most electric car sales ran out of steam when subsidies stopped in 2025. Electric will have a place, but this administration is propped up by oil n gas PACs so no big surprise they ended those programs. Hopefully the anti green and alternative fuel programs don't have to suffer the fools who don't understand the programs or technology.

BREAKING: The long-awaited 2026 Tesla Model Q has officially arrived at $15,990 — and it’s already SHAKING the Auto World. The new aero-wing design boosts efficiency, speed, and range.

You told us the Model Y refresh would reverse the trend. It didn't.

They'll need to sell a metric fuck ton of Q's now that the Cybercuck is rotting away and they sunset S and X

I heard that the model s and y factories were gonna be refited to build the robots that will 'revolutionize' everything.

Optimus robot "Probably" starting at 60k ( similar to predictions of the cyber truck that actually costs 80-130k.

Not sure who's gonna buy one of those without a pocket pussy attachment but it sure won't be me.
