that require Tesla technology to stay on the road. The consumer would be better off if his cars were simplified without all the useless bells and whistles. Even the tires have to be made especially for Tesla. It's really very simple. Musk is a fraud and lousy businessman. If he can produce an electric car that the working class could afford his business would grow.
Because of his strange political affiliations, More and more consumers are making other choices. It costs far more to build an internal combustion engine than an electric motor. Why is that not reflected in the cost of the Tesla automobiles?
