Any other CEO would be fired. a long time ago. The board are puppets not holding their CEO accountable. Shareholders are suddenly not important. If Akio Toyota did anything remotely what elon does Toyota would be crucified. If Mary Barra said anything remotely to the crap Elon does she would be gone, etc etc. Tesla simply would be much better off with new leadership.

The Chinese market is really fond of EREVs especially in the high-end market. Take rate tend to be way over 50% when both EREV and BEV options are available. Consumers love the peace of mind that comes with the range extender.
