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.
- tinus_hn 6y agoIf you’re not boycotting them, why are you saying there’s no chance you’re ever going to buy their products?
- hyko 6y agoA 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.
