Elon Musk lashed out online Monday as Tesla stock plunged over 15%, wiping out its post-election rally and shedding 50% of its value since December.
Investors worried about market declines, recession fears, and Tesla’s growing controversy after Musk’s far-right rhetoric and mass government layoffs.
Musk falsely claimed Democratic donors funded anti-Tesla protests and linked critics to Jeffrey Epstein. He amplified conspiracy theories blaming arson attacks on Democrats.
Despite his efforts, Tesla’s collapse cost Musk $23 billion in a single day.

This is the stuff I read. Not very scientific, but indicative of piss poor quality, especially given the price range. Where are you finding your stuff?
I can’t find any article that goes into any useful detail about the first part, so take that with a grain of salt. Most vaguely mention how the system has very few moving parts, the car is very aerodynamic, and praise the battery thermal management.
The rest though, that’s immediately obvious from any video review you watch
