I admit I own a Tesla. Given all the recent erratic behavior:

Not only will I not recommend Teslas to anybody who might ask about it, I will warn them to look at company & CEO behavior over the years, and actively discourage others from buying one.
When the time comes, I will not be replacing my current car with another Tesla. I will still likely go with an EV, but by then there should be significantly more good (better) options available.

About the only way I’ll change either of these will be for Elon to step down and completely remove himself from any control over Tesla. But I don’t see that happening and I certainly won’t be holding my breath.

Same here. For me, not only has the CEO been erratic as all heck, the tech has stalled out and I don't see any improvements and the other car manufacturers are quickly catching up and in some cases surpassed Tesla.

It's really sad to see the company fall so badly, so quickly but that's what you get when you let a completely unhinged person be in charge without checks. Still nice to see his money at least kick start the EV industry to where it is today, good and bad.
