Same. I’m “due” to get the next car in our family, but I’ve told DH that if he wants to ditch the Tesla, I’m happy to give up my “turn.” |
You are exhausting. |

I don’t have a bumper sticker on my car professing love for ‘EM. I just have a car. People who judge Tesla drivers, especially those who’ve had them for awhile bc it was a smart choice for the environment, aren’t MAGAs. Quite the opposite
I’m sure the judges also boycot all organizations with jerky owners and never travel to southern states. |
| Every day that passes, it seems like Elon leans further into his edge lord/Q persona. No one is selling a relatively new car because of it, but buying a new Tesla does seem like something that you're going to get judge for |
This is ridonk. I am a huge anarchist liberal who has always hated Musk, but I am not dumping a perfectly good car and investing in a new one...the environmental impact of this is way worse than whatever my perceived values are. People who know me, know me. I kept my Toyota for over 20 years till it died and I will do the same with my 2018 Tesla, because it is folly to replace cars when they don't need to be replaced. So wasteful. |
| Please. We are all sick of the judgement and condemnation. Move on. |
Yes, why can’t Musk help out neo-nazis without any judgment? And even though Musk insisted on a multi-*Billion* salary for running Tesla because he is indispensable to the company and synonymous with Tesla but anyone who now objects to Tesla being associated with Musk is being ridiculous. |
| Not at all. Generally Tesla drivers are very liberal. |
|
A friend with a Tesla is keeping theirs but cancelled an order for a new one.
I’m disappointed because we were planning to get a Tesla as our next car (the car it would replace is 10 years old so it’s coming up). Maybe Elon will get pushed out by then if he’s tanking sales. |
We are sick of the far right loons. Lock up your crazies instead of putting them in positions of power. |

We have one we bought years ago. I don’t know why Tesla has this reputation for snobby “usury” cars. We have the 3 which was slightly more than our Prius was. Most people have the 3. I don’t know anyone with anything else. When we bought, it was the only real option for fully electric. (Our other car is a plug in hybrid.). It’s really unfortunate musk is such an ass because the Tesla charging system is phenomenal. It’s so easy to take road trips with the network they built. Much much more difficult with other electric cars.
I really do hate musk but it’s a bit ironic — at the end of the day, he perhaps has done more to help the environment (by making electric vehicles feasible through sheer force of will and investment) than most liberals. If you watch the Good Place, it makes me think perhaps he has earned a place in The Medium Place. |
| There’s a cult around Musk, just as there is around Trump. This is why we’ve never considered a Tesla, despite owning multiple EVs and PHEVs. |
Why? If you're oh so progressive and going to turn up your nose at the idea of MAGA (and honestly, how many MAGA types are even driving Teslas?), how are you okay with forced labor of the Uyghurs to make your iPhone? Or can you just not stomach the thought of having to use an Android? |
| Let me tell you what I learned about a guy by the name of Henry Ford |
Not for owning one maybe but buying a new one? No. Don't. Spend your money on something better than a product that does not stand up against hate speech, insurrections, and trashing women's rights. |
