False dychotomy. They're not stating the rest of the industry is exempt from capitalism, but that they don't have a loudly fascist-adjacent individual as a leading figure and, if I may add, they have better build quality and reliability than Tesla's. At this point I have yet to meet in real life one single Tesla user who is happy with their purchase. Long before the Elon and Twitter drama, I recall one of my CS profs talking about their Tesla saying something like "The software and the self-driving features are what make this car valuable on the market, but, taken it as a car, it sucks compared to everything else"
The way they iterate on production cars means they can have much improved parts as time goes by. But they don’t tell anyone that they’re doing it, and can just as easily fucking yup an iteration and you’d have no idea it’s only on the few hundred or thousand cars made the that same month.
Finding parts is a nightmare and both production speed and treating cars like beta software is making it even worse.
The only thing that makes a used Tesla worth buying is the battery and drivetrain. Parting this parts out to car conversion is already a profitable business. The rest of the car is recycling.
