I don't think you need to feel ashamed of driving a Tesla now, but it is really remarkable to see how rapidly he's turned people who agreed with what he was doing only five years ago completely against him.

Musk had Tesla acquire Solar City solar panels to bail out his cousins business

Correct. We had installed the panels years before that though. (Before his cousin got involved at Solar City, I think.) When we sold the house and installed new panels on our new house, we didn’t buy them from Tesla.

The rest of this comment aside, it is hilarious to say Teslas never break

In my life I’ve owned Volvos, fords, Subarus, Mazdas, and teslas. Mazda broke the most, followed by Volvo, followed by ford. Subaru and Tesla are each only about 6 years old but neither has ever needed a repair (other than oil changes on the Subaru)

We have a Subaru and a Tesla. Subaru has had oil consumption issues. Tesla sedan had problems with the seat. Tesla tires wear quicker and are very expensive. Otherwise, can't complain.

We have only owned Toyotas and Hondas and all have been fantastic cars. We keep each car on average a decade. Could keep them longer (running fine, good condition) but just want something new at that point.

How do you know who so many people are voting for?

I am not putting stickers on my car. That's dumb.

Yet you don't have any problem with rich nazi lunatics terrorizing people for doing their work and voicing their opinions. Well, that shows you why your values are.
