We’ve known for years that the owner is a lying, creepy, out of touch dipshit and that it’s a very flawed car and the company will cut costs to save money on safety items, every time.

Electric vehicles with drive assist are awesome and are the future, but there are alternatives, especially if you have money, which a lot of Tesla customers do. And they’re not particularly well built; how many of these do you think will be on the road 20 years from now? And now we’ve seen how Elaine runs their companies, why the hell would anybody put their trust in their products?

If you’ve bought a Tesla in the last five or so years, you’re a damn goober in my eyes. That’s my hot take, prepared for being called poor and other sodium, tear filled comments from fools whose opinions don’t matter. You are the hardcore, foaming at the mouth Segway fan from the 2000s, have at me lol.

Update: The teary eyed, sweaty fingered responses to this are predictably hilarious. I’ve been called a guy that eats 4 pizzas a week in another old thread because of this, a cunt, a tool, a douche, a couple people spent their energy to tell me they don’t understand me spending my energy posting this, some people are telling me something about Tesla or Elaine living in my head rent free. All genuinely pathetic responses, so GG lol. Cheers.

    Looks like there is at least one Tesla fan judging by the down votes (at the time of this comment that is).

      I downvoted the comment because I find that saying that Tesla owners aren’t “capable of doing a little research” is not just untrue, but also unnecessarily belittling/insulting.

      I personally would never buy a Tesla but I disagree with insulting people’s abilities on the mere basis of them choosing to buy a Tesla.

      (I downvoted your comment because I disagree with randomly making up reasons for a post/comment having downvotes.)

      There’s always a trace number of people downvoting everything that doesn’t jive with a strict conservative doctrine, so you have to normalize for that. It’s usually at least 1 on here.

      Given how annoying this place would be for any genuine conservative to actually hang out in for any length of time, I conclude we’re actually being monitored by someone(s).

        Nah, I just like getting into dumb arguments on the internet. I didn’t downvote him though.

          You’ll get tired of it eventually, if you’re anything like I was. Regardless, we’re clearly under attention, the hack last night was evidence enough of that. Given how much groups of people on the internet like playing games, I think it’s frankly a little out-of-touch to think there’s nobody intentionally observing.

      You know you can see who’s downvoting right? It’s a lurker account with “Texas” in the username. Make of that what you will.

          Anyone who runs an instance has access to see the names of people who upvoted/downvoted any comments or posts that get fed into that instance. So while you have to be an instance admin to see that data, anyone can become an instance admin if they want to. And I have a feeling it’s only a matter of time before someone uses that power to write a bot that can DM you the names of people who upvoted/downvoted any particular piece of content on demand.
