Tesla shares sank 8% on Tuesday and have now lost most of their gains that followed President Donald Trump’s election victory in November.

The stock has plunged 25% this year, while the Nasdaq is down just 1.5%.

Reuters reported on Monday that the company’s long-awaited upgrade of its partially automated driving system in China left owners unimpressed.

It's going to get worse as more reviews come out. There's already videos circulating of FSD running red lights and committing other violations.

Seem's TSLA has lost all western markets except the US because of Elon's vocal politics. Still selling well in China but will that streak last if the US becomes more aggressive against China and Chinese cars dominate? India would love to have Tesla but how many can actually be bought in the market with supporting infrastructure?

We see Chinese humanoid robots running and doing kungful while the TSLA bot was a person in a suit last year(?). FSD is still vaporware. Tesla taxi is still vaporware. All of those dream vaporware is contributing to the high stock/pe... Can Musk deliver?

Then how do you explain Americans being more tolerant to Mexicans since Indian invasions? Checkmate atheist.

Are a disproportionate number of senior executives in "corporate America," especially in "big tech," of Indian descent or of Mexican descent?

Not trying to flatter our Indian bhais, but statistically speaking, Desis that make it state side and their kids are on average visibly more educated and financially successful than their Hispanic counterparts.

Inevitably, that's going to be more threatening to certain relatively more entrenched segments of American society that are worried that they're losing their place at home, if not in the world at large.

What is up with these NATO talking points (i.e. propaganda /misinformation) popping up in this forum?

Vladimir Putin has maintained a clear path forward for Russia since at least 2014, upon the US coup that installed an Anti-Russian regime Kyiv, if not 2008, when President Medvedev (and Putin) responded to the Georgian attack on South Ossetia to decisively "express" Russia's objections against further NATO hybrid aggression and expansion.

The far-right US neocon/neolib establishment , i.e. the real ideological power in the US, will NOT willingly abandon its vassal states and Quislings in Europe. Unless the people of the US truly wake up , it will be back to business as usual in 4 years time. More neocon/neolib wars and coups of aggression in Europe, Asia, and around the world (unless reality asserts itself). These "fine people" in Washington DC, London, Brussels and "certain other places" are fundamentalist extremists. They will not learn their lesson until they pay the price for their actions directly and personally. Even then, some of these neocon/neolib extremists will prefer to go down with the ship and drag everyone with them before accepting reality, that their dream of neocon/neolib hegemony has imploded.

I am still amazed that many people recognize that appeasing the Nazis back in the 1930s was a bad idea but for some reason appeasing modern day de-facto Neo-fascists (i.e. neocons and neolibs) is somehow a good idea.

You might be misreading my post. Not here to apologize for NATO or to justify their policy measures, but also not here to legitimize Russia.

Both sides bear responsibility, and have partaken in escalations that have led to where they're now.

Insisting that one side is more just and righteous than the other on a normative basis is best left to virtue signalers. Granted the Russians have been more consistent in their policies, but that's also more achievable when you're a "big country" rather than "an alliance of one big country herding multiple medium and small countries."

However, it is surprising to see someone as favorable to Russia as you refer to Ukraine's capital as Kyiv rather than Kiev!

Talk about a resemblance!!Henry Kissinger had a brother??BTW all Germans have Waldheimer's Disease(infamously named after Kurt Waldheim) where a person forgets he was ever a Nazi(SS,Wehrmacht,Gestapo)there is no cure and the Japanese version is even more serious and virulent.

Even the Israelis didn't mind Nazis, including those who openly expressed old loyalties, like the late

.

In all fairness, a lot of Germans, including many completely reasonable people, held NSDAP membership before and during WW2 because it was a professional or even social necessity. Kind of like how being nominally Christian tends to be a necessity for most candidates seeking major elected office in the Bible Belt.

The problem with much of Europe, in particular Germany, isn't that certain Nazis subsequently became prominent Eurocrats, but their inability to have honest conversations about it.

No wonder they're now scrambling to respond with guys like this now running the show on the other side of the Atlantic . . .
