Model 3 is overpriced As a tech worker myself I don’t want to support him at this moment either. I don’t like him for what is doing with Twitter drama.

I don't think he takes his work seriously enough. He is too busy being a dilettante when it seems like he has the talent to focus on one business and od it well. It almost feels like Tesla Motors can't be trusted as a company fundamentally just because Musk will get bored of running it.

  Also looking at history and how things are going at Twitter. There might be real worry of him doing some weird pivot and then rolling it back again. Causing loss of money and trust.

    Like announcing he’s taking the company private and then backing out? Something like that?

      Musk has shown plenty of erratic behaviour around Tesla as well. And especially with the Twitter drama, I think Tesla might be better off without him.

        He gets crazy whenever there's a crash crunch, but when it was the Model 3 ramp up period it was much harder. Now he should just do nothing and it would be better for all companies involved.

  That's not how boycotts work. If enough people do it you can be sure that Musk will notice, it is the cumulative effect of individual actions that are at the root of a successful boycott.

  Doesn’t matter My money my choice, it discounts the branding value for me which is previously there for Tesla. Now from a utility perspective I don’t think this car worth a premium, others are making EVs as well, and EVs actually has a lower market entrance bar than gas powered vehicles

Activist purchasing is something I will never understand. If a car is a better car for the price than anything else then you are only hurting yourself by not purchasing it. It seems like pure hatred of someone to hurt yourself to make them somehow feel worse because you don’t like them.

I don't understand this take. I cannot find an EV that beats it on both range and price. I cannot find a car with similar acceleration for a similar price. In what way is it overpriced?
