Massive layoffs at Tesla

[Issa]

This is the funniest thread...watching regressives bash the car of the future that scored 99 on 100, technologically advanced, has 0 emissions. Lol ....fucking morons!!!

Yes, its hilarious because the Tesla Model S is marketed as a family sedan not a race car. It was never meant to compete in any way with the Corvette.

Now, Tesla has put this car out which does, and which whips the Corvette senseless. Over 600 mile range.

It's not that "massive", when one considers that they've already hired 8,000 workers just this year.

They're eliminating 4,100 mid-level management positions, which I think it is interesting - they're not laying off the factory workers, but the salaried bosses.

So who is going to 'manage' the thousands of factory workers?
This ought to be fun to watch.
A neighbour parked his new Tesla in his garage a few weeks ago.
While the family was sleeping the Tesla caught fire and burned down the three car garage.
The neighbour is suing Tesla for ten million bucks.
Tesla will settle for a million. That's a lot of factory worker wages.
Face it. Tesla is a fuck-up run by idiots.

Would I park my old classic Ferrari next to a Tesla. No fucking way!
I'd be afraid the POS Tesla would catch fire and burn up my Ferrari.

Tesla....AKA......Socialist Motors, obviously is loved by the Left. After all it.....

Thrives on taxpayer funding (you know, wealth redistribution)
Purports to be a "Green Energy" company, when we all know that the production and maintenance of all those massive batteries is just great for the environment.
Thrives only on a system of welfare (taxpayer subsidized)
Is joining other big government backed auto makers in supporting Communist regimes - Tesla Reaches Deal to Build Factory in China

Hey, if you're a Socialist/Marxist, what's NOT to love about Tesla?
(Calm down, I still think a 10 second quarter mile electric car is kinda cool)

(disclaimer: ok, in all fairness, even Ford is building cars in China but Ford doesn't thrive on taxpayer funding)
It's also true that Ford approved of the bailout for GM & Chrysler because parts and resource suppliers would have been damaged.
Still, the fact remains that electric cars have not caught on in America and sales are not supporting the company. Subsidies are.
