It's shocking. You do everything possible to alienate your core buying demographic, and they stop buying your product. And maybe doing so particularly in markets that provided badly needed and nearly 100% margin carbon credits to sell to other automakers was a particularly bad idea.
I'm sure self-driving cars and humanoid robots will be here any day now, though, just like the semi, or the previous self-driving cars.
I'm only surprised TSLA has held up as well as it has.
