The Tesla Forums

Is Tesla's reputational decline truly unprecedented in the auto industry? JPMorgan seems to think so, comparing it to sales dips experienced by Japanese and South Korean automakers in China. But is this a fair comparison? Those were largely regional issues tied to specific geopolitical events. Tesla's current predicament, linked to Elon Musk's political involvement with the Trump administration, is playing out on a global stage. This raises some interesting questions. Could this be a turning point for how consumers perceive the connection between a company’s leadership and its brand? Are we witnessing a fundamental shift in brand loyalty, where personal politics outweigh product preference? What will be the long-term impact on Tesla? Will this reputational damage be temporary, or are we seeing the beginning of a sustained decline? Share your thoughts and predictions.
