i don't buy it. TSLA still has a big city high tech slant and that's driving most of the sales, while Ford electric trucks are flying like hotcakes. he's going to have to do more to compete on features, on culture, and on reliability -- a big selling point for trucks, and something Tesla's terrible QA will struggle with.
The implication that truck drivers love bipolar douchebags is also vaguely offensive; if that was true the flyover states would be all about Kanye.
This isn't 4D chess, he's just off his rocker and morphing into 2000s Howard Hughes
