That's absolutely a factor but it's also all the issues that are popping up regarding build quality.

Bad deliveries/customer service, issues with door panels, water leaks, general build quality, etc. There are a lot of things right as well but like you said, he's tainting the image and further putting negative pressure on the brand.

Sacking the charging network team was the killer. It’s going down.

Investors, you’re getting fleeced now.

That stuff was always there. It's all Elong, customers accepted the poor quality to buy an electric car and save the environment. But now there are many better options and Elong is just insulting that very same customer base so he can be an edgelord because he.... IDK is sad inside or what ever dumb reason he does what he does.
