Maybe we’re going back to basics when you could buy a Japanese built Datsun B-210 with a 1.2 liter engine.

I remember those cost $80 per month to buy back in the day. I had a Datsun PU that I loved. Moved a lotta people...
Well it’s Chinese built now and everyone seems to think that’s the enemy these days. I’m not so bothered, but some seem extremely worked up by that.
Not so fast with the great American company look at #31, waiting for the spin. LOL

You've got a one track mind.
Back in 1975, when the B-210 was hot, WW2 had been over 30 years earlier ( remember Pearl Harbour? ) and the Vietnam war had only been over for a few years. Americans had a really tough time accepting Asian built vehicles. Seems to be China’s turn.
What are you spinning here? Are you saying Tesla is not an American company? Because that would be wrong.
Haters gonna hate. Keep playing into China's hands.
I, for one, is glad to see an American company leading the world for once.
There you go shooting the messenger again. 21% owned by the muskrat, who else is holding the other 79%.
The only thing left of MG that's british is the name. It's an all out chinese product, it would be a stretch to call it anything else
Well, I'm not shooting anyone. I am asking you what your point is. By the way, your numbers are bogus.
Here is a recent list of major shareholders.
At least you used to post your opinions, which you are entitled to.
Musk owns about 13%; Vanguard is next with 6.8%.
Tesla, Inc. is an American multinational automotive and clean energy company headquartered in Austin, Texas. Tesla designs and manufactures electric vehicles, stationary battery energy storage devices from home to grid-scale, solar panels and solar shingles, and related products and services.
Perhaps this helps the messenger...

I get that but their goal isn’t being a Chinese feeling product, so what they make versus a from the ground up Chinese product will likely be two completely different things.
So he doesnt even own the 21% quoted in the article which was updated sept 2023?
GM made cars that weren't american feeling for the european market, under their opel brand and later daewoo/chevrolet.
Ford used to make different cars for europe aswell.
Do a little research. An article like you posted is hardly credible.
But don't worry about Elon; he's still the richest man in the world.

I have done enough research on the muskrat and his companies, and am not impressed.
You seem to be ga ga over his wealth, that is pretty lame. Answer the question, how much of tesla stock does he own?

According to this article, GM is partially owned by China. #28
GM and Ford have been doing business with China for a long time, it is no surprise they have a large stake in it. All these companies are not the once great American companies, today they sell out for the Chinese $$ and in return sell American workers right down the river with no oars.
Tesla has a lot of Chinese $$ in it also but with outside investors owning 85%+ of the company who know what will happen in the future.

Quick note. Family members visited your country this past year. They loved it, said it was beautiful and while I sit here today, setting up a new aquarium in our home. We are using New Zealand River Gravel. (go figure!)Distributor was in Australia .
Regarding EVs Its amazing the selection of European makers there. Im not so sure any of them are here in the USA.
I already showed you the numbers. Your article is bogus which is why I suggested you might do a little more research.
Regarding Musk, there are things I am impressed with, primarily Neuralink and including bringing back the Fremont plant and leading the world in the automotive space. There are things I'm not so happy with, to put it lightly.

All valid points. I would add that loyalty to the "Big 3" American companies was a major factor. But with the quality problems of the later 1970's and gas prices, things changed. The first Hondas were junk. Then Toyota changed the world with their quality first and business model of repeat customers.
