Always loved and wanted to support electric cars. But my first will never be a Tesla.

In 2022(?) when he was up to his shit trying not to buy twitter, despite having agreed to buy, space-x employees signed a petition to have him step down for his negative influence. I believe he retaliated by firing people and they filed a wrongful termination lawsuit, but I leave it to someone else to correct me if I’m wrong.

I know that I considered his brand when buying a car after ten years of living a car-free lifestyle. The pan made it impossible to rely upon Uber and I would have bought a Tesla if they weren’t massively backordered. I settled on a hybrid because I could get one much sooner. I’d light myself on fire rather than pay for one of this shitbag’s car today, however.

People are waking up to the obvious fact that what they thought were Tesla-specific features (like the powerful torque and acceleration) are actually features of a battery powered electric motor per se. Saying that to a Tesla-Fan will still get you a “why are you hating” reply. Musk and Trump truly have figured out how to brainwash the dumbest.

Or the vast majority of people can not afford Teslas. The die hards have bought them already or have died in them already.

get rid of that cunt, improve the quality of your cars and maybe I consider to buy a tesla…

Not unlike a certain kind of hurensohn…

Smoogs ,

The heavy irony here is the only people who defend Elon cannot afford a Tesla. The people who think he represents them aren’t even his target audience.

PatFussy ,

People are avoiding Tesla’s?

You may have facts but there are like 10 people here saying they won’t buy a Tesla so…

Fish ,

But the survey and my confirmation bias say that people don’t like Teslas anymore…

pedalmore ,

You’re a quarter behind. Big drop 2024Q1, but you’re right that the story has been growth - just slower growth than Tesla has promised, even with massive price cuts, and now we have a contraction. A lot of people dislike Elon because he’s a fucking tool and this has to be a partial factor, we just don’t really know how much.

According to CNBC, deliveries have dropped 8.5% compared to Q1 2023. That’s awesome! I would love to see their sales continue to plummet.

Its kind of hard to find recent data but if you look at all car companies it’s pretty much par

That’s delivery of vehicles. Aren’t they famously way behind with long wait times? Actual sales figures would be a better gauge.

I have a 2012 Honda, I’ll likely never be able to afford another car. I would love to have Chinese EV options here though.

BYD is in Mexico and selling so we see them on the streets. They are sharp looking cars.

    Yeah put me down for not a dozen myself…

    TastyWheat ,

    I’ll not buy 50!

    WalrusDragonOnABike ,

    I won’t buy all of the teslas. Looking forward to xan buying 3 times the total production of all Telsas.

    Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

    In my case, it was more of a powerwall (the cars had too many issues already), but yep; not touching anything to do with this reprehensible shitstain. I avoid giving money to such people/companies whenever it's possible.

    ronflex ,

    I’d say this is anecdotally false. I live in a rural area in the US and I just keep seeing more and more teslas popping up on the road. I wonder if they are showing up at more dealerships now where more consumers have the opportunity the make an uninformed purchase? Not sure.

    I feel like anyone who has done surface level research on a tesla would avoid then. I haven’t even done that and I know just from seeing articles that I didn’t even seek out that they are pretty shitty cars, even if you ignore Elon’s existence.

    blazeknave ,

    I live in the most Tesla filled city in the world. I’m a fucking dick to them. I’m sorry, but if you’re buying into that Nazi’s cult and I have the choice of being my usual kind self, or taking the opportunity to go ahead of you, cut you off, etc., I’m going to do the latter.

    FrankTheHealer ,

    I had half a mind to buy one after I graduate college. But I don’t know if I can right now given the fact it directly benefits Elon.
