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.

    Don’t really understand the energy spent on this matter. Just vote with your wallet. Don’t like Tesla? Awesome. Don’t buy one. Like them? Go ahead.

    People are allowed to like and dislike things and not everything is run on a manichean paradigm of extreme hyperbole where things are absolute shit or the best thing that’s ever happened.

    A Tesla seems, objectively, like an okay car that’s fun but usually comes with drawbacks and QA issues. Some will be more enthused by the latest gadget. Some wont.

    Then after that, Musk as a public figure, the bro hype, stupid dodgecoin memes, etc… All of that is just noise.

      Not only that, but posts and topics like this one actually just end up reinforcing Tesla whether they want to or not. It’s one more instance of the word “Tesla” being used, people start engaging on something related to Teslas, and some might start looking up facts or things related to Tesla… in the end, the hate just ends up being absorbed as more traffic and user engagement in relation to Tesla.

      OP, you can also stand to be less of a douche who’s lowkey trying to instigate a flame war. This reads less like “I am against Teslas” and more “I want to start a pissing contest on the internet.”
