My rich oral surgeon friend bought a Tesla really early on way before Elon showed us who he really was. My friend has a sticker on his Tesla S that says “I bought this before we knew he was crazy”.

But if you don’t have an anti elon sticker I’m starting to side eye them

I don't have a sticker, only because I don't like stickers or badging on my vehicles at all. My Model 3 was early enough that they didn't even have the Dual Motor badging for them in stock. They brought the badging to me at some point about a year later when the Rangers came to a tire rotation in my yard, there wasn't even have a full Service Center here yet. I didn't have them actually install the badging, it's still in my glovebox. It's as low key as I can make the damned thing.

But that's a major contributing factor to my looking at alternative options now instead of when it's fully paid off in September. The swastikar is becoming a target, and I don't want to have to deal with shit just because Elon's a Nazi. Got a test drive setup next week for a Polestar 3, and if I fits and I likes, going to be looking at that probably, especially with their added discounts and bonus for leasing and currently owning a Tesla. Most other manufacturer vehicles I'd consider are at least 1-2 years away still, so a 27 month lease is just about perfect for filling that gap, and making a decision then. Would still be less than I'm paying for my Model 3 with those discounts.
