“What happened to all the Tesla killers that legacy press and hedge fund short sellers predicted were coming? 🤔 [@TheCaptainEli] Tesla alone sold 117,300 EVs in the US — more than ALL other EV makers combined (99,099). GM + Hyundai + Toyota + Rivian + Ford + Lucid + BMW + VW + everyone else… still couldn’t beat Tesla’s single-quarter numbers. Tesla outsold the entire rest of the industry by over 18,000”

“🦾 [@ElonClipsX] Elon Musk: At GM, there's a special elevator only for senior executives. We have no such thing at Tesla. “I actually know the people on the line, because I worked on the line, I walked the line, I slept in the factory, and I worked beside them. So, I'm no stranger to them.”

“@all_in_tok Let’s not forget the White House giving Tesla the cold shoulder, excluding us from the EV summit and crediting GM with “leading the electric car revolution” in the same quarter that they delivered 26 electric cars (not a typo) and Tesla delivered 300 thousand.”

“@zerohedge They want a 40% pay raise *and* a 32 hour workweek. Sure way to drive GM, Ford and Chrysler bankrupt in the fast lane.”

“@teslaownersSV @UAW @GM @klwtts Yup”
“@GerberKawasaki We aim for 30% GM or ~10% profitability, all costs included”
“@PaperBagInvest But reaching volume production with sustained positive cash flow was last achieved by an American car company, Chrysler, ~100 years ago! Ford & Tesla are the only American car companies to avoid bankruptcy. Even GM & Chrysler went bankrupt in 2009.”
“@JoeBiden Tesla has created over 50,000 US jobs building electric vehicles & is investing more than double GM + Ford combined [fyi to person controlling this twitter]”
“@Tesmanian_com If a severe global recession were to dry up capital availability / liquidity while SpaceX was losing billions on Starlink & Starship, then bankruptcy, while still unlikely, is not impossible. GM & Chrysler went BK last recession. “Only the paranoid survive.” – Grove”
“@RenataKonkoly @WR4NYGov It’s great that they’ve changed their tune these days, but the truth is that GM tried damn hard to kill the electric car! If not for competitive pressure from Tesla, they would be doing nothing. https://t.co/BAa6mXvbrZ https://watchdocumentaries.com/who-killed-the-electric-car/”
“@Teslarati @ResidentSponge GM & Chrysler were bailed out (money never repaid), but Tesla was not. Crucial Tesla investment actually came from Daimler in 2009, from which they did very well. Tesla received govt energy efficiency loan in 2010, by which time capital markets reopened. Loan was repaid early.”
“@Ali_Tesla585 @NYKChannel This might be part of the problem: “GM is warning owners not to charge their Bolts in or near their homes overnight” https://t.co/HIgO979oJ7 https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/20/22634721/gm-recall-chevrolet-bolt-battery-fire-fix-problems”
“@vincent13031925 @JonErlichman I put in my last money, even though I thought we would still fail. But, it was either that or certain death for Tesla. Extremely difficult to raise money for an electric car startup (considered super quirky back then), while stalwarts like GM & Chrysler were going bankrupt.”
“@jgrano305 @flcnhvy To the best of my knowledge, literally zero equipment was usable without major repairs or upgrades. Most of the factory had no equipment at all! Even light bulbs were missing in some areas. GM & Toyota took everything that worked & moved it to their other factories.”
“@raytech247 @WholeMarsBlog Even GM & Chrysler went bankrupt in 2009. Ford and Tesla are the only US car companies that have avoided bankruptcy.”

“@speea @AlterViggo @juliacarriew In theory true, but not how UAW behaved. They drove GM & Chrysler to bankruptcy & lost 200,000+ jobs for people they were supposed to protect, incl abandoning NUMMI plant workers.Tesla took over & now it has 10k+ jobs.UAW destroyed once great US auto industry & everyone knows it.”
“@mikeyfranklin @dmatkins137 @ShayneRarma @NASA More “Reveal” bs. Tesla is overseen by Cal/OSHA, most stringent labor safety org in US, & they’ve never found us to misrepresent. On other hand, Ford, Chrysler & GM (UAW) have repeatedly been found to fake safety numbers. Strangely, that info is missing from Reveal article …”
“Few people know that we started Tesla when GM forcibly recalled all electric cars from customers in 2003 & then crushed them in a junkyard”
“Am happy to hear that GM plans to develop an affordable 200 mile range electric car. Right target. Hope others do same.”
“Oh yeah, well Tesla will study a plan to study the GM team that's studying Tesla, so there! http://t.co/Gn41zsaRv8 http://www.autonews.com/article/20130722/OEM/307229980/tiny-tesla-a-threat-to-gm-akerson-takes-no-chances-assigns-study-team#axzz2ZtetyAIU”
