As a car enthusiast, I know that the history of VW is nuanced. And you should know that also.
Right now, with Tesla, there is no nuance. It's as clear day. A meme-lord douche is currently CEO and I absolutely detest what he currently stands for. When I see a Tesla, I see said douche sieg heiling.
- rmu09 2y agoThe history of every german car maker that was around in the 30ies is "nuanced" in that way.
- LightBug1 2y agoAgreed. But it is history. For example, you'll know that it was the allies who effectively restarted VW as a practical solution after WW2 and who can be credited with its existence. Tesla is here and now. I wouldn't buy a VW before/during WW2. I wouldn't buy a Tesla now. Not making the two equivalent - but who knows where history is going. We're talking about a US government with fascist tendencies, openly flirting with a mafia superpower.
