    Which is funny. They should support Tesla since it’s our path to green cars. Tesla is much better than anything else on the market. Don’t let politics get in your way of supporting highly paid workers who are building a product that supports your ideology. I had a Tesla. That car was amazing. I’ll get another one even if Elon flips full liberal again. Too many other people are involved to care about Elon

      Tesla is much better than anything else on the market.

      In what way?

      • They have had more digital recalls than any other product ever developed in the history of digital recalls.

      • They also rate among the 10 highest in physical recalls and required maintenance, despite EVs on average needing far less maintenance than combustion engines.

      • Tesla’s build quality is notoriously bad, with some of the widest part tolerances in the industry. Panels are regularly off by as much as 5° and 2mm.

      I had a Tesla. That car was amazing

      Have you had other EVs, or was this your only dip into the market?

        It’s the only one I’ve owned. I’ve driven about a dozen.

        Tesla designed an EV. The others feel like a gas with ev slapped on to it. It’s not even the same experience

        No, we admired some of the things he did- until he showed who he really is. A racist piece of MAGA-loving shit.

        There are still 100k other people in the company.

        It’s funny they’ll rant about Elon but by from a car company that doesn’t pay their employees as well or isn’t a eco friendly.

        Don’t let politics get in the way of the better product for your values.

        I am big on the environment. As such the Tesla is my choice for electric cars.

          If you’re big on the environment why support someone who intentionally gets public transit blocked so they can build.some underground car subway that doesnt function as well as a regular one? It doesnt make sense to say you prioritize the environment and then give your money to someone who actively works against it. Cause the only real way to take care of the environment in transit is not EVs, or green components, or robotaxis. Its fucken trains, make your cities use trains to move more people around for less. Thats it, and Elon actively sabotages that.

            In Vegas no public transit was blocked. Not sure where you made that up. That also has nothing to do with Tesla. That’s boring company.

            I am not taking a train a few miles. Ev cars serve that purpose.

              Its weird how the Boring Company made this underground transit for Teslas. But sure it has no relation at all. All of these projects exist to tangle city funds in them so that public transit is left to die. He only started talking about this when a high speed rail project was proposed to connect states.

                All these projects? I only know of one project. I don’t keep up with boring as it’s not Tesla.

                Boring has nothing to do with high speed rail. He’s not suggesting we connected cities with tunnels. Boring is about taxing the traffic off the roads.

                Are you confusing boring with hyper loop ? That has nothing to do with Elon either. Branson was building hyper loop

                    I’m talking Tesla and you are obsessing about Elon.

                    Elon didn’t try to produce hyper loop and you were talking about boring.

                    Thanks for proving my point about the irrational Elon hating. Everything you’ve said has been false but you keep wanting to go on about Elon. That’s weird.

        I think that’s why they hate him so much. He was their idol then he committed the heinous act of wrong speak and betrayed them.
