Musk wants to make sure that BYD has little or no competition. Kamikaze management yet again from another American company. Musk is such a genius!

I criticize Elon often and harshly, but putting off a low cost car might be the rational and realistic part of this set of decisions: The opportunity cost of cybertruck and other side quests Tesla has been on make doing a low-cost car something that should have been started 4 years ago, using the money that's been spent on a second rate robot or a semi truck that's good for hauling potato chips.

I criticise Apple often and harshly, but putting off a premium car might be the rational and realistic part of this set of decisions.

Personally, I think Tesla are left holding the can at this juncture ... and the next 5 years are going to be extremely challenging for them.

Margins eaten away at the premium level - with no hope of clawing them back at the lower cost mass level.
