"Tesla was once seen as the future of the automotive industry, where many respected the brand as a revolutionary EV company that would save lives by leveraging computer vision."
"The sleek cars symbolized innovation, environmental consciousness, and cutting-edge technology."
Elon Musk's political actions and public behavior created reputational risk that alienated customers, investors, and regulators. Chronic manufacturing failures produced quality issues, missed production targets, and costly recalls that undermined consumer trust. Widespread service shortcomings, slow repairs, and poor customer support compounded dissatisfaction and reduced repeat purchases. Safety incidents and overpromised autonomy features invited regulatory scrutiny and litigation, increasing operating costs and damaging the brand. Intensifying competition from legacy automakers and new EV entrants exploited Tesla's vulnerabilities. Together, governance, execution, and service failures diminished demand, market share, and Tesla's position as the unchallenged EV leader.
