Tesla lays off more than 10% of its workforce

Is this a bump in the road, or a slow car crash?

Slow car crash.

Tesla is in serious trouble. Its model line up is aging and it has trouble bringing new models to market. It's one new "car" - the Cybertruck - is pretty much a disaster area and it can't be sold in one of the biggest car markets in the world (Europe) because it would be illegal there. They've just cancelled the new sub $25k car and the Roadster 2 would be out of reach of all but the richest people even if it was in production. Added to that, Tesla is facing competition from other car makers, especially Chinese ones. Finally, its CEO is considered to be toxic by a lot of the people in the demographic that might be expected to buy a BEV.

Some good news if you are Musk

Tesla's full self driving is a crock of shit. They've had to rebadge it as "Full Self Driving (supervised)" which is self contradictory and it's very far from being good enough for a robotaxi, which Musk promised all model 3 drivers could have in 2019.

Maybe the car crash is not as slow as it looks.

More redundancies, surprisingly, including the entire supercharger team.

And not the only such crock of shit

Not just the supercharger team but the whole New Product team too. Tesla is doomed.
