We’ve known for years that the owner is a lying, creepy, out of touch dipshit and that it’s a very flawed car and the company will cut costs to save money on safety items, every time.

Electric vehicles with drive assist are awesome and are the future, but there are alternatives, especially if you have money, which a lot of Tesla customers do. And they’re not particularly well built; how many of these do you think will be on the road 20 years from now? And now we’ve seen how Elaine runs their companies, why the hell would anybody put their trust in their products?

If you’ve bought a Tesla in the last five or so years, you’re a damn goober in my eyes. That’s my hot take, prepared for being called poor and other sodium, tear filled comments from fools whose opinions don’t matter. You are the hardcore, foaming at the mouth Segway fan from the 2000s, have at me lol.

Update: The teary eyed, sweaty fingered responses to this are predictably hilarious. I’ve been called a guy that eats 4 pizzas a week in another old thread because of this, a cunt, a tool, a douche, a couple people spent their energy to tell me they don’t understand me spending my energy posting this, some people are telling me something about Tesla or Elaine living in my head rent free. All genuinely pathetic responses, so GG lol. Cheers.

    I own a Model Y, don’t give a fuck what Elon does or says. I own a Ford too and couldn’t tell you who the hell the CEO of Ford is. Their personal opinions have fuck-all to do with the product, in my opinion. I test drove one, loved everything about the car, the charging network is objectively better, and I’m a big fan of self driving so that’s a bonus. I’m a little over a year into ownership and there’s absolutely no complaints I have about the car, it’s been a great experience.

    Now the question is, why do you have such strong opinions about what cars other people buy? I’ve had a great experience with my Tesla and don’t know of any better way I could’ve spent my money on a vehicle.

      People love to hate Teslas, as seen from this post. My only complaint with mine is that there’s a good chunk of the population that translates their hatred for Teslas into unsafe and aggressive driving. It’s like, “Yes I get that you’re far right and hate EVs / far left and hate Elon, but can I please merge onto the highway? My kids are in the car.”

        It’s just like android vs iPhone wars. I don’t understand how some folks get so hung up on what other people are doing. Don’t like it? Buy something else. Seems a petty reason to be calling people names.

        Haha, I get this. My other vehicle is a lifted F150 that I use for off-roading and camping, so I’m a sinner in both camps depending on which vehicle I leave the house with.

      I get you, man. I like my Volvo but I hate Swedish people! When my hate for the Swedes starts to boil up inside me and I start to grip that wheel hard, I just think of my car’s strong but flexible chassis, collision detection, and understated yet elegant interior finishing and it calms me down.
