And so fades any chance that I’ll ever buy a Tesla vehicle. All this lunacy is rotting the brand from the inside, and nobody has the power to stop it. Especially galling because they were supposed to use technology to lead us to a better world, but instead they seem to be unable to escape one man’s hubris.

Better get a Diesel from a respected vendor then. They’ve not done anything questionable for the past 2-3 years. ;-)

  Other electric vehicle makers are available :) And none of them need an erratic soap opera swirling around them to market their products.

    Yes of course. The comment above was a joke. Hence the winky smiley. :-)

Have fun buying a car from a manufacturer that is not manufacturing, and be sure to complain about Tesla threatening to boycott California while you threaten to boycott their products!

  I’m not boycotting Tesla. What I’m saying is that as a prospective customer I am not reassured that the company won’t just try and pull a load of weird shit on me in the future (either by imploding or screwing me over) and for that reason I can’t commit to them. It’s a great pity because we have to recognise they have essentially created the modern EV space, and I was actually looking forward to adopting their tech.

    If you’re not boycotting them, why are you saying there’s no chance you’re ever going to buy their products?

      A boycott is when you avoid an organisation in protest at something; I am exercising what I think is a rational consumer choice. I don’t believe that my action (or inaction) will have any impact on Tesla, nor do I want or need it to. e.g. if you don’t like brand X Milk Chocolate and vow never to buy it, you’re not boycotting brand X but rather just exercising your right as a consumer.
