If you're after a small and affordable electric car then you're not exactly in the market for a Tesla anyway. What is this headline?
"If you're after a small and affordable electric car then you're not exactly in the market for a Tesla anyway."
That's the point of the headline and article.
since Tesla isn't making the affordable cars they promised to consumers, countries like Mexico are going to make the affordable cars promise to consumers.

"Musk Says" has to be the biggest reddest of all red flags anyone has ever put up.
He says all sorts of stuff, I'm pretty sure by his schedule we should have colonized mars by now.
I think it was 2029 for the first manned mission, but the rocket that's supposed to be the base for this still only explodes.
Well, he did say he'd put a man on Mars in 10 years... back in 2011.
...And then in 10 years in 2014 (meaning 2024).
...And then in 6 years in 2016 (meaning 2022)
...And then in 6 years again in late 2020 (meaning 2026)
Then we finally end up on his 2029 date back in 2022.
I'm sure I've missed one or two of his suggested landing years, but you get the point. He has no idea of when we'll actually go to Mars, he's just saying what gets him the most publicity.
Everybody does ; when all voices get equal publicity, there is evolution. When voices that get publicity do so by being put in spotlight by someone looking after their own interest, that evolution stops working.
My opinion is that centralized search engines and centralized social media and in general centralized services must die. I don't know how we are going to do it, but they are fucking the humanity up big time, not even what Mr Hitler and his friends did (despite killing a lot of people, that failed to become mainstream and some kind of immunity emerged), but more like rolling back 200+ years of development of civic nations.
