[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are liberal, earthy-crunchy as it comes, and we've had one since 2019. We can't get another car right now, and doing so would be bad for the environment since there is nothing wrong with this one (except the guy who owns the company has lost his mind and soul, if ever he had one), so it is what it is. And it's actually a great car, so there's that too. We don't own any Tesla stock.

If you want to take something out on Elon, go after Elon, not your neighbors. We need to get our kids to school and ourselves to work. A car is a car. I don't get people who side eye someone for the car they drive as if it means they agree with Elon's current politics. That's just not realistic.[/quote]

I don’t think anyone said they have a problem with Tesla drivers, just that we’re not inclined to go buy one.

I definitely look askance at cybertruck drivers though. [/quote]

If someone goes out right now and buys a Tesla, they are supporting Elon Musk's company.  Buy whatever car you want but I don't have to be impressed with someone that's going to support that guy's company.  There are plenty of other vehicle options.

Plus he seems to be actively trying to trash his brand as fast as he can. So you have to wonder about the longevity of this brand.[/quote]

If you buy a Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, or VW, you are supporting families who built their wealth on the Nazi-industrial complex. Actual Nazis, not figurative ones. Similar connections can be made to Toyota and Mitsubishi with regard to the wealthy families of Japan.

If you think there is some major corporation that is not complicit in globalism, radical oligarchy, and war profiteering, I would love to know what company that is.[/quote]

The profiteering was last century, PP, and you can't fault today's CEOs and car consumers for the tragedies of 75+ years ago. It's really not the same thing as knowingly buying a Tesla today, when Elon Musk made the Nazi salute last week, appeared at the German extreme-right rally and declared he would be financially supporting them for their campaign.

You most certainly can fault them. Ill-gotten gain can (and ought to be) divested. And in the interest of semantic purity, it was the [i]atrocities[/i] of 75+ years ago, not mere tragedies.

You fault Musk for being cozy with the German far right. Do you think that Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, and VW are not feathering the nests of the powerful right wing in Germany? That is completely unrealistic.[/quote]

If you want to buy a Tesla, buy a Tesla. Not giving any company of Elon musk a penny of my hard-earned money and that is my right.  [/quote]
