Four years ago (or whenever it was that Musk was still thouoght a hero around these parts) you would have been downvoted into oblivion on this site for critiquing Tesla quality, so let's just all admit it's about politics.

  That also marks the time that videos started coming out regarding the poor quality of Teslas. The extravagantly botched release of the long delayed Cyber Truck as well. So given that information I feel like a decision to purchase a Tesla is actually more due to politics than a decision to not purchase one.

    The infamous tent-built Model 3s were in 2017. Quality concerns have been known since at least then.

  Tesla has always had very bad quality control and you can find stories about this for at least 8 years now. Here is one from 2020[0] and one from 2018[1]. Quality control has always been Tesla's weak point. It takes no effort to find these instead of being easily proven wrong.

  Ok. It is about politics. I and many others will not support the megolmaniac that took a chainsaw to our federal government. Musk not only hired a bunch of palantir, ballet machine hackers, but he also ensured the many lawsuits against him were dropped, the investigations into his companies that should have cost him billions were dropped, and that his companies get $100s of millions of no competition government contracts. Correct. I will not support Musk ever again, regardless of his current PR bombardment. Musk has shown who he is and now he will reap the rewards of that reputation.

    100% true, although even if Musk wasn't toxic I wouldn't get a Tesla because of the poor build quality, touchscreen controls, and the overpromise/underdeliver history.

      What part of what I said is a conspiracy or not true? All of this is backed by evidence. Easily searchable on your favorite search engine.

  Yeah and we liked Twitter quite a lot too. I wonder if there's a connection there.

Unfettered by high quality, Tesla shipped the first Cybertruck… So easy. ;-)
