A lot of these things are just not fixable within the short term either, so a new leader probably won't improve things much. Take poor build quality, for example, which takes many years of iteration to improve.
It won’t be quick but I would bet that they could make fairly big improvements quickly if they had a less chaotic leader: someone who acknowledges the problem and makes it their top priority instead of chasing impulses or being obsessed with something which would be cool if it worked but doesn’t. I guarantee that there are people in that organization who know how to improve reliability but aren’t empowered in a culture of intimidation.
9. Elon says a lot of stupid shit and many might not want to support him by buying his product
I think this is actually a bigger thing than people realize though. Initially I think Elon was the selling point, people liked him more and wanted to support him. Not anymore.
I don't know about that, maybe in the tech nerd crowd that's true. But repair costs and mainly Teslas being very unreliable and breaking down a lot has been going viral on instagram and probably tiktok for months.
I live in Wyoming. I know two people who passed on buying a Tesla because they didn’t want to be the jackass driving around town making that sort of a political statement.
That’s my experience as well. My non-techy potential EV buyer friends are split on Tesla. Group A thinks the range and specs are industry leading, for now. Group B wants nothing to do with Tesla regardless of how good or bad the cars are because of Elon.
Anecdotally this is mostly correct, but I also have heard non tech people acknowledge how hard it is to get parts/repair the cars as a downside as well.
