The Tesla Forums

Is Musk’s political involvement and OpenAI pursuit jeopardizing Tesla? Oppenheimer analysts seem to think so, citing these distractions alongside intensifying EV and AV competition as potential threats to Tesla's projected growth. What do you think? Is this a legitimate concern, or is the market overreacting? Furthermore, with Musk at the helm of DOGE, how much influence will his political stances have on Tesla's brand image and, consequently, its sales figures, particularly in politically sensitive markets like California and the EU? The recent dip in European sales, coinciding with Musk's political activities, raises eyebrows. Is this a trend or a temporary blip? Share your thoughts. Could Tesla's declining market share be attributed more to Musk's actions or to the increasingly competitive EV landscape with players like BYD and XPeng aggressively cutting prices and offering incentives? This seems like a pivotal moment for Tesla. Where do you see Tesla heading in the next five years, given these internal and external challenges? Is Tesla's long-term viability at stake, or will they innovate their way out of this predicament?
