Buying an expensive new car (especially Tesla's EVs) requires some faith that the ecosystem is going to stay around, parts will continue to be made, and they'll hold their value somewhat. Musk has brought all of that into doubt, and there is no reason to believe in them as they as they stand now.

That's not even taking into account the distasteful political rabbit hole he has fallen into that is likely to offend a very large segment of potential EV customers.

They need to take some drastic action or they are going to fall into a death spiral.
Yeah, especially because their competitive advantage is rapidly eroding. The majors are catching up and they're going to be able to produce and maintain EVs better and faster and its going to happen real soon.
