24. Tesla is going to join the historical wreckage of automotive companies and technologies.

Mon Mar 10, 2025, 06:01 PM

Mar 2025

Musk has so badly tarnished the Tesla brand that it seems unlikely to survive. It is too bad the company was not more independent from this man and his toxic management style. The Tesla Board could have removed him at any point. However, they are so tied to him as a charismatic or "cult like" leader that they are unable to act objectively. They could have put him on leave or found a new CEO. But they acquiesced to the ego of this man and the rest will be told as part of automotive history.

The technology will be sold, and some other automotive company will build electric cars that use Tesla’s technology. The Tesla Truck is such a ghastly failure it is likely to join the ranks of the AMC Pacer or Pontiac Aztec as collector’s items.
