Is Tesla about to go the way of DeLorean?

1. Unlikely

Despite Musk.

9. I think it will happen...the new truck which looks God awful and doesn't function the way folks

use trucks...is a ridiculous vehicle...and their stock is on life support... if you are a liberal like me, you won't help racist entitled Musk by buying his shitty cars...worse quality in the industry.

2. Yes now that the big Detroit automakers are going EV.

[WarGamer]

10. So far... Detroit can't produce any.

Tesla delivered 1.3M in 2022.


Right now... GM and Ford are 5-7 years behind Tesla.

14. When the bottom falls out of the Musk empire, who will buy Tesla? Ford?GM?Honda?Toyota?

Take the technology and kill the company?

[WarGamer]

15. Doubtful.

GM and Ford can't afford it.

VWAG is the only global automotive entity with that kind of budget.

But Tesla will continue, I'm 100% sure.

Having said that... I bet Musk is no longer CEO in 2023.

3. DeLorean is back

with a new EV.

7. Looks pretty cool.

4. i still want a de lorean!

5. Heh! The headline "Musk caught selling 50 kilos of cocaine to make loan payments"

[Buns_of_Fire]

6. Not unless Musk has invented a flux capacitor.

After drawing heavily on George Santos' brilliant pioneering work on the technology, of course.

8. Delorean sold

9,000 cars, Tesla has sold over 2,000,000.
A better analogy is Packard or Studebaker.

11. My financial crystal ball says "no".

There's a lot of Patents that are worth a fortune.

Possible outcomes:

1. Musk holds out.

2. Musk get the Steve Jobs treatment and gets booted by the shareholders/board, someone else takes over.

3. It gets sold to another car company.

The twitter debacle is still way too early to call and for all the hub-bub how Musk royally screwed up, we don't know that for sure yet. But other tech companies from Silicon Valley down to Santa Monica are watching as they may also feel they are bloated with employee's and/or offering too many benefits.

12. Tesla increased sales by 40% last year, so not a chance

If the stock keeps falling, however, there is an outside chance they'll get acquired.

[NNadir]

13. I hope so.

It would be nice to see Elon having to sell crack.

[D_Master81]

16. Likely years away from happening

Elon will get booted as CEO before Tesla gets acquired. Viewing Teslas stock price isn’t everything as they are still shipping a lot of cars. Elon May hurt the brand but if he steps away they’ll be fine. The big automakers have jumped on the EV train but they’re years behind.
