Tesla biggest problem, is they still don't employ "car people". They think that what they produce are "transportation devices", not cars Their designs and their quality of fit & finish, is atrocious and the laughing stock of the automotive world. Elon Musk may be a genius, but taking on GM, Toyota, BMW & M-B is no easy task ... which perhaps is why their stock is down 40% this year.
The rest of the remaining 40% were at Wang and Data General!

Agree on Tesla and Musk. This is a hobby for him. He’s on a different level. I’m sure he’s thrilled that BYD is operating on the periphery and no (immediate) threat to him in the US at least
