So the product has gotten worse recently? Maybe open your eyes to reality.

You think that just maybe Elon's actions in the last year may have provided a reason for that comparison? I mean I could give plenty of examples though they would likely get deleted. I keep saying never give your enemies ammunition but Elon has no understanding of that concept. Not exactly 3d chess being played by him.

Both. The product clearly has gotten worse recently as well (USS removal, etc).

Here's what the surveying company itself attributed to the drop back then:
I have seen posts here that people were deeply disappointed with his pedo comments, with it significantly changing their image of Elon, and that seemed to the approximate starting point of the downfall of his reputation, so that take made sense.
And for this year:
So basically both Twitter and Tesla took a hit this year, which obviously you can plug your ears/cover your eyes and say it's all a coincidence, but I don't think objectively it makes sense to claim there was no negative affect.
I'm not the one making the claim, it was the surveyor itself!

Yep, exactly what the company attributed to the drop back then (plus the whole "funding secured" thing, which gave an image of Elon being a grifter also, although it seems the affect from that was much less for Tesla fans).

If you followed Tesla you pretty much knew about it and I think it's largely more of a negative for the people that were existing fans of Tesla, but like you, I'm not sure how well known it was to the general public.
The "funding secured" seemed to be more well known to the general public (even my parents knew about that as it made the local news as a big deal), but my impression was Tesla fans were on the flip side less phased by that.
And on similar regard, Elon's specific posting shenanigans I presume would be less well known by the general public, but the Twitter purchase and subsequent changes to the platform appeared much more reported by general news media.
People I know were the opposite. Most dont follow markets closely, but they heard about the Pedo comments.
I remember it being fairly well know . The kids stuck in that cave were all over the news and Elon was talking about building submarines and whatnot.
I certainly didn’t know much about Elon back then other than being the spacex and Tesla guy.

Yeah, the 'pedo guy' episode was reasonably well known, at least among anybody keeping up with anything in tech. It was absolutely one of the first steps in my personal transition from Elon fan to Elon anti-fan.
Huh?
Consumer Reports removed the Model 3 from their top pick for awhile, and later on they restored it.
Overall Consumer Reports has been really happy with the Model 3.
In fact its the only Tesla that has earned their Consumer Reports recommendation.
Only 1 Tesla Model Is Recommended by Consumer Reports
Tesla models are loved by its fans, but reviewers are more critical. Only one Tesla model was recommended by Consumer Reports.

Was the USS really all that useful?
I think its less that the product has gotten worse, but the competition has gotten better.
Why bother with USS when there is 360 degree down facing view that Tesla doesn't have yet.
Then there is rear cross traffic alert which is also much better than USS, but Tesla doesn't offer that either.
I hope Tesla adds these features to the Model 3 revision to stay competitive at the vehicle level, and to stop relying so much on the Supercharger network along with price advantages.

FYI - Tesla could turn on 360 view tomorrow (the code is essentially already there in how the car processes images). They don't, because the patent is owned by Nissan and they would have to pay royalties on every single car they enabled it for. They won't do that. But (like when the LFP patent expired), don't be surprised to see that quickly turned on.

Well, I guess Elon can at least salvage the fact that the ridicule is being posted on Twitter. No, I haven't been listening to this misbegotten "event". Anybody who has care to comment (leaving out anything that a moderator might consider "politics" of course).

After the DeSantis launch (and Pentagon Explosion) debacles Musk ought to consider moving Twitter to MySpace.

The only really good thing that could happen out of this is if Elon finally banishes Wormtongue, ...er David Sacks. Personally, I like to think his incompetent buffoonery is largely to blame for what's been happening to Twitter. Elon trusts him, and the trust is profoundly misplaced.

In a nutshell...
This is, of course, a tech failure, and much commentary drags Tesla (especially FSD) into the general sphere of incompetence. Is there any hope that Elon will just stop with the gratuitous self-owns? Probably not.

On CNN they are talking about the glitch rather than the announcement itself.
Hope Elon doesn’t sell more TSLA to buy a few more servers for Twitter
