There are some people who can make that choice, and that's preferable. But not everyone can do that. And to leave a single EV unused, just because we hate a single man, is unconscionable for anyone who believes the world actually hangs in the balance.
- woodruffw 2y agoAs others have pointed out, you could buy a different EV. The market appears to have many options. But also, I simply don't buy the environmental argument here. I'm pretty sure buying a used Toyota Camry and driving it into the ground is better, on net, for the planet than buying a brand new EV.

- vasachi 2y agoYou do know there are other EV manufacturers, right? Tesla can go bankrupt today, and supply will not be all that worse.
- tuwtuwtuwtuw 2y agoI don't agree that it's unconscionable. To me, supporting a man like Musk who actively promote climate change denial is the worse option.
