Tesla Has More Problems Than Just Elon Musk's Image

Tesla's challenges run deeper than controversy around Elon Musk

The company is still valued at more than 100 times its earnings - but it faces problems that experts say go beyond questions around its CEO

Tesla stock is valued at about 100 times its earning value.

Those who invest in Tesla, are expecting new tech breakthroughs in the
company. But, this is questionable, given the strong competition in the
electric vehicle market.

There is the perception that Musk is trying to keep too many plates, spinning,
to give proper attention to how Tesla is run.

My wife asked me this morning

"what do the liberals who believe in green energy think they are accomplishing by trying to put the only successful EV company in the US out-of-business. The company that built 90% of all the charging stations in the US""

I told her that these people don't really think things through. It is the same people who thought shutting down the entire country in 2020 was a good idea, when the only data we had on this was from a WHO meta-study in 2019 that concluded we *should not* attempt a national shut down to contain a virus.

Tesla actually isn't all that innovative as a car company, not since Musk bought them out. Some Tesla customers have been waiting forever for an update to their original car, the Roadster (which Musk had no part in designing), which Tesla has been promising forever, but never delivered on, despite preorders.

If American tariffs weren't so regressive and protectionist, we would have BYD or Xiaomi electric cars available for about 25,000-30,000 dollars. And BYD now has battery technology that can recharge in 5 minutes. In the long run, those kinds of tariffs will only harm American businesses and customers, who need access to affordable, high quality electric cars.
