Anecdotal: 8 years ago, Tesla would be at the top of my list if I was looking to buy a luxury or electric car. It had, and to some extent still has, a nice buzz to it. It was the Apple of the car industry. Today, I would feel downright ashamed to buy a Tesla, knowing that my money will be directly fueling Elon's wallet and ego. I've never seen someone burn their reputation as quickly as he did with his twitter acquisition.
- m463 2y agoWho cares about Elon's reputation? What I do care about is that they ARE becoming the apple of the car industry. Everyone stares at a screen all the time. Everything on the touchscreen, less physical controls every model. No turn signal stalk, no shifter stalk, critical controls on the touchscreen. seriously?
- tivert 2y agoYeah. I disliked Tesla before it was cool because I didn't like their product decisions or Musk's lies about self-driving. His fandom rushing to defend all the faults of the products and company made me even more wary. IMHO, it's lame and kinda pathetic to sour on them just because of Musk's politics.

- philsquared_ 2y agoGood luck charging your next ev outside of Tesla's charging network. Seems like your going to be funding Elon either way..
- LightBug1 2y agoBetween my 69 Beetle and P 912, Elon can shove his supercharger up his ... sorry for the humblebrag, I love them passionately in a way no Tesla will ever be loved, particularly being 40-50 years old.
