New here. My opinion is what it is and the value of it may change with time
A new group of buyers is now being exposed to Tesla and I am one of them. I ordered an MY LR basic white, black interior. Like has been said, there is a time and a season for everything. A time to buy, a time to sell and a time to wait it out. A time to lick old wounds and move on. I am truly sorry some feel they made a huge mistake. I think Tesla makes a wonderful car and apparently back in 2022 we were none the wiser.
I am one of those types who will research a subject literally to death. Sometimes it looks like I am unsure, when in reality I am only acting on updated info. There really are different economies across the US. I live in a much different situation here in PA. compared to the economic and business environment in California. Many things assumed over there are only ramping up over here. EV's being one of them with a very low percentage of adoption so far. Yes I see them and they are becoming more of a thing, but not the kind of 'thing' they are on the WC for a number of reasons.
To me Tesla business moves look to be multifaceted both to solve a problem in having excess inventory AND make a move to grab the biggest piece of the market they can grab. I would think having larger market share looks like a very good move to share holders. Don't think for one minute if any one of the other auto makers had an advantage, they wouldn't use it over their competition. In Tesla's case the advantage is the ability to out produce the competition, coupled with a formidable charging network AND not having an ICE ball and chain to split their energies. These are all blows to the opponent in the ring, but the TKO comes in when they also lower prices with the risk that they loose a small percentage of customers who just payed more up against a MUCH larger base of customers who can now get into a Tesla.
Share holders should not be crying here because Tesla is playing the long game which is really the successful game. While profit margins are lowered, droves of new customers are gained. Over time this will have a snowball effect IMHO in favor of Tesla.
If you didn't like Tesla or want to go somewhere else, I guess you will need a blindfold to ignore what you percieve to be the ugly kid on the block because he isn't going away and much of the promised ramp up in EVs by other companies are at least partially smoke and mirrors or marketing to narrow market niches.
The competition isn't serious competition if Elon gains the masses in lower income areas of the US, like mine compared to CA. due to better affordability of these cars.
