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.
You were so quick to put my comment into one of your predefined “wrong opinion on the internet” category that you’ve misread or misinterpreted it. Nowhere did I say the point wasn’t valid. I think it’s great to be mindful of one’s purchases. I just pointed out that the logic should be applied consistently. Everyone hates Elon Musk so much that many of them are forgetting how bad the rest of the corporate world is, and consequently is letting them off the hook far too easily.
There is a difference between “other companies do this, so your criticism of Tesla isn’t valid” and “other companies do this, so you should criticize them as well as Tesla”. My position is the latter.
