Gotta give Musk credit on one count, though: Tesla has eliminated cobalt from the roster of materials needed to make their batteries.
No fan of him. Absolutely no fan of his cars.
But another credit: he got the Chinese to build him a factory to make his cars. EVs tank, as it looks like they are, it’s their loss, not his.
However, in having them build his factory, any money kicked back to them goes to the CCP and it’s mandatory that they have access to the technology.
The article is still biased against Tesla, in regards to "Tesla’s financial performance in the recent quarter didn’t meet the industry’s expectations.".
Musk had announced ahead of the last quarter that they were shutting down some production lines for retooling and updates, and that their numbers would reduce. So-called analysts ignored this. The production numbers and profits will increase in the next quarter due to the upgrades of the production lines. They're producing more lines and vehicles while GM struggles to produce a couple dozen EV cars. Of note is the Cybertruck which will debut Nov 30th for delivery to customers.
I know a lot of people hate Musk and Tesla but facts are important.
