Elon has also said the Tesla is “almost done” with its A15 chip design, six months after saying it was already finished. Tesla is also ending its direct sales of FSD software, amid speculation it could be to avoid California’s false advertising ban for Tesla. Tesla’s Germany sales are also down a whopping 72% from their peak. Could this partly due to Elon’s constant controversial posting on his own platform X?
