Tesla hasn't lost it in 2025, but much earlier.

For example, when they stopped maintaining and improving their successful Model 3 and Model Y, because the ugly tinbox "needed" all research and development resources.

This is exactly it. Instead of focusing on refining and renewing their products, Tesla burned billions on self-driving, while simultaneously hamstringing themselves by removing radar and lidar. That’s before the cybertruck and roadster 2 interfered.

Lucid, from what I can tell, has done this work. Their new motors are the size of a carryon. The interior volume is enormous. That’s what the flagships should be like at Tesla, but they screwed up.

Unwanted features taking priority over quality improvements is a textbook enshittication move.
