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.
Although I do believe Elon has been acting like a fucking maniac for the past few years, I would still buy a Tesla if I had the money for it. There’s absolutely no other electric vehicle on the market with so much tech and so much power for so little money.
Quality? For sure others are better in this regard. But just pure fun and power? No other even comes close, and the ones that do (Porsche Taycan, etc) are much more expensive to buy AND maintain.
There’s a reason Tesla model 3 is the best selling electric vehicle in the WORLD. Shit’s good yo.
We have to know how to separate Elon, the character from the products and services his company provides. (except Twitter, it’s gonna burn to the ground.)
He’s always been a maniac. People just started noticing after the Thailand cave incident.

You would buy “the best tech” with “little money” on costs of quality, longivity and safety.
Just look at the control-arm problems and the way they “fix” it. Its disturbing.
Please never get trapped.
My principles don’t allow for funneling money towards people who I believe will use it to make the world a shittier place.
You must live your whole life buying from only neighboring farms and individual creators, right?
I am curious which farm produced the smartphone and/or computer you’re using to browse this site?
Do you actually think the tech and gadgets you use, the clothes you wear, etc, are all made/created from some wholesome benefactor? The products we use are the result of abusing third world/developing nations, including child labor. What a hypocrite.
There’s the cold ugly truth about capitalism, to which I haven’t opted out. To some degree, that makes me a bad person for going along with a system I know I can’t change. And then there’s directly supporting a transphobic piece of shit who helps spread conspiracy theories online. I’ll opt not to go along with the second one.
That’s just blatantly false. There are a lot of other options out there that are at least comparable, if not outright better, than the Tesla models.
