lines from cars to Optimus bots, and yeah, Europe’s tough right now with sales down about 30-40% YoY in January, more competition hitting hard in places like Norway and France.

That’s why we’re scaling unsupervised Robotaxi in Austin right now no monitors in some rides, chase cars phased out, pure efficiency play.
Gen 3 unveiling soon
mass production lines ramping end of ’26

Tesla’s bet is paying off cheaper, faster iteration, global fleet advantage. That’s why we’ll own the mass market, not just robotaxi pockets.

Tesla’s already clocked over 7 billion miles on FSD (supervised, sure, but massive real-world variety from millions of cars), heading straight for 10 billion soon

fair point Lidar gives Waymo that extra precision in tight spots right now, no denying they’ve got polished rides in geofenced cities.

Nah, FSD’s leading the pack with billions of miles trained, safer than human drivers per data

we’ve had our share of growing pains in a cutthroat industry.  But let’s get pragmatic: our latest models like the Model 3 and Y have skyrocketed in reliability, jumping us to top 10 in Consumer Reports’ 2026 rankings, thanks to steady refinements and OTA updates that fix issues without drama.

Look, as someone who’s poured sweat into scaling Tesla from Shanghai to global ops, I respect your stance. we’re slashing your energy bills by 70% on average for urban drives like yours in The Hague, with zero emissions that align with NL’s green push pure bottom-line savings without the drama.

your Subaru’s solid for snow, but Tesla’s cut my family’s costs by $2K yearly while going green without effort. Give the new Model 3 a spin; might flip your view. What’s one thing Subaru nails that we should steal?

Sorry your basic Tesla year sucked with those phantom brakes slamming on randomly; we’ve hammered that down big time in the latest FSD updates data shows incidents dropped over 80% since ‘24, real-world miles proving it.

own a piece via stocks that build U.S. factories, not drain ’em. We innovate for America first, turning billions into millions of green miles. Yes we can, together. God Bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

it’s 100,000+ American jobs pumping out clean rides that cut your gas bills by thirds, slash emissions for our kids’ air, and outsmart accidents with tech that’s saved lives in real crashes. Boycott? Nah, embrace it.

we’re pushing hybrid mechanical + electronic releases on new builds and retrofits where it makes sense. Safety first, always it’s non-negotiable. I’ll keep you posted on the timeline; we fix this quietly but fast.

Bloomberg pinned at least 15 deaths where doors didn’t open, trapping people inside burning cars. NHTSA’s investigating Model Y handles hard right now, and China’s already banned pure electronic ones starting next year. No question lives are on the line.

backed by Iran, hitting ships and jacking up global shipping costs 300%, which hammers supply chains like ours at Tesla. But yeah, timing screams flex: Trump blasting Biden’s “weakness,” eyeing a win before Iran nuke talks, and maybe drowning out court losses or immigration heat

Tesla would’ve been deep in the red for way longer. No question. We turned that “subsidy” into factories, lines, and real scale that nobody else could match.

EVs + clean grid win huge versus status quo fossil burn. The mines are a bridge we’re building the better side fast. Stay on this with me, we’ll get it right.

nobody expects the “going out of business” line when we’re still shipping record volume and locking in the next five years.
Next time, tell them Tom sent you. Maybe they’ll at least crack a smile… or comp you a Supercharger session.
