I, for one, definitely won’t be buying another Tesla as long as Naziboy Musk has anything to do with the company.

    Is it because of Elon at the helm of the company or moreso because the car itself is poorly made, unreliable, etc? I have a few friends who own Tesla’s, and I get mixed answers. Some say the quality is good others say it’s a POS.

      It almost varies from car to car in my very limited experience. Just from outside one, the build quality varies wildly. I worked for a surgery center for a few years and didn’t notice until I saw 2 Drs parked side by side and one of them had massive body panels gaps that even I noticed. Having seen the difference, I can see it when I pass by parked ones as I go around town.

      The lack of consistency is a deal breaker for me, even if the company wasn’t run by a south African Nazi

          If you take offense at Elon being called a Nazi, but think of yourself as a “liberal,” you might want to take a moment to reflect on why.

      They’ve been great cars. The fit and finish is kind of lackluster, but the cars run great, are fun to drive, and have been extremely reliable.

        I’m in the same boat. On the one hand, it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. On the other hand, Elon Musk.
