I don't own a Tesla or stock cause I am poor, but I believe in Tesla and a lot of what Elon Musk has said in the past. I thought the Giga Factory idea was great. The Cyber Truck actually looks cool to me, mostly cause it's futuristic and different. I also don't think Elon cares that much if the stock goes down, as long as he is able to move forward with his vision, which hopefully he is able to do, because if I were being optimistic and taking him at his word, then it's an exciting future. It won't all go as planned, but nothing ever does.

What would it take to shake your beliefs? You of course can think whatever you want, but it seems to me that many people, myself included, once felt like you do about Tesla and Musk. But for many of us, his actions over the past several years have caused me to adjust our perspective. I no longer believe he has good intentions, or will deliver on most of what he promises. I wouldn’t buy a Tesla at this point, and I definitely would have a few years ago. I’m just curious if you’ve thought about what might make you adjust your view of him.

  I'm in this boat. I've been happy overall with my Model S purchase but compared to luxury car makers it is overpriced and nowhere near as good. The best thing about owning a Tesla in the US is the Supercharger network. Things that turned me off: - Many times under warranty getting stupid things repaired that were clearly manufacturing problems or just boneheaded mistakes when putting the car together. Crazy for a $102k automobile. - Once warranty wore off ran into an issue where the car warned me it might not start again and it needed service immediately. Tesla scheduled my service 2 weeks out and charged me $1000, for something that when I googled it was a common problem and that the service center told me wasn't something I had done. At this point I was pretty frustrated. - Elon's antics: when he called one of the heroes who rescued those kids from the cave a pedo to sate his own ego I was flabbergasted. I've paid more attention to his actions since then and they've only made me think less of the man. I truly think he has done too many recreational drugs and has destroyed his mind.
