1 year agoI’d like to gently point out that you don’t need to like Elon to drive a Tesla. Disappointing when fellow EV drivers don’t understand this, as there’s enough of that assumption from the EV haters in the general public.
How many CEOs of multi-billion dollar companies can most people even name? And how many of those do people think are universally awesome folks? My guess is few but maybe that’s just me.
I don’t really like the dude but I sure as heck love my car.
I did not suggest that you should buy a Tesla. My point was - and perhaps I should have been clearer about this, and for that I apologize - Elon is a nut job CEO of a publicly traded company. Tesla helped make him rich off a product that paved the way for the EV industry, which in my personal opinion is a massive step forward. Unfortunately Elon is the company’s mouthpiece. He says whackadoodle inflammatory and hurtful crap (insert tired old analogy of fellow jerknugget Henry Ford here) and I wish he had the EQ to keep his dang trap shut. My comment was simply to reinforce that not all Tesla drivers like Elon - a widely held myth even if present company is excluded from that. People should continue to buy what they want.
