Elon leaves Tesla:

- Tesla finally settles with unions and starts treating their employees fairly.

- Tesla addresses the water pollution of their Gigafactories in Europe.

- Tesla signs that collective bargaining agreement in Sweden so they can finally sell cars there (and have their charging stations unblocked).

- Tesla adapts their marketing to stop claiming auto-pilot bs.

- Tesla adapts their quality control so Tesla cars are no longer delivered to customers in a semi-assembled state.

- Tesla starts investing in research for more sustainable disposal of batteries and alternative means of energy storage

I can see a lot of upsides to Musk leaving Tesla (on top of the $50B)

It looks great on paper, but isn't their core customer going to drop them without elon?

Tesla's core customer is a person buying a fairly spartan EV sedan or crossover. That's not going to change until the current rate of Cybertruck production and pre-order delivery acceptance changes.

chuckke nobody buys a car because they feel like giving a billionaire money.

I mean, if you can afford to spend $100k just to simp for Elon Musk, god bless you, but the rest of us want $100k of value when we pay $100k for a car.
