Couple that with some truly dumb design ideas from Elon (no lidar, no physical buttons, indicators as buttons, stupidly high repair bills due to design choices) and some even more stupid personal behaviors from him and he has just cut the legs out of his market.

Well, some of these dumb design ideas are not really from Elon and it is not that other car manufacturer are too much different....

Which ones aren't? Also deciding to copy dumb ideas from elsewhere is even more dumb as someone else did the alpha testing for you, showed it was dumb, and you still copied it.

I forgot the yoke instead of a wheel. That's another Elon special.

Buttons for indicators I know are on modern ferraris, I can't afford one but I still wouldn't buy one because of them. Try using buttons on a steering wheel when doing a right at a roundabout, just the dumbest shit.
