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.

    I’ve never once bought or not bought a product because of who the CEO is. I’m definitely not going to start now.

      All CEOs are assholes, so to the people who say not to buy just because of a CEO are just reactionary fools.

      Elon is also CEO is SpaceX, but SpaceX is by far the biggest disruptor to commercial space that has ever existed. Granted its success is all thanks to SpaceX President Gwen Shotwell, and not Elon.

        Agreed! It amuses me that Elon gets all the credit/criticism when he’s basically the spokesperson and the lightning rod for all of his companies.
