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.
I mean, those can both be true. You can buy an electric car without buying a Tesla.
On the other hand, someone buying a used minivan because it’s what they can afford should not be tarred with the same brush as someone buying a brand new Tesla because they’re an Elon Musk fanboy.
A lot of people bought their teslas before Elon started flipping out. Tesla has also been lowering prices in many markets recently. I’m not going to razz someone for buying a decently priced electric car with a good range. Hopefully Elon gets kicked off the board at some point so the people that actually do the work at Tesla can get back to business.
Also, for those of us who live in cities and have street parking only, not having a reliable place to charge is kind of a deal breaker. I’d love a cheap reliable EV. I think it’s an absolute shame, and a missed opportunity that the new Prius wasn’t an EV, but even if it were I don’t think I could buy one without having somewhere to charge it.
