Whither Tesla?

Maybe GM or even Stellantis should buy Tesla out from under Musk? Since it's lost over half its value in the last six months and sales are down something like a third, they should be ripe for the taking, and F-Elon obviously doesn't give two sh*ts about it anymore. They do have some good technology, including the gigacasting, and they could buy more advanced battery systems from BYD (they already do, in China for cars built there). The subsidies are going away anyway, most likely. The reality is that EVs are much simpler than ICE cars, and the outcome of recent trends is for them to be cheaper to build and sell than ICE cars. Politics has gotten in the way, but the natural progression is for most cars to be EVs within 10 years or so. If not an American company, I would think Honda/Nissan might be interested. Or even Toyota. Tesla has what they lack, and vice versa. Maybe the Japanese government would kick in a couple hundred bill.

Trying to think of a way to get out of yet another MAGA shitshow.
