Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Sold my Tesla, will never buy one again. At one point, admittedly, had a CT reservation - canceled and got a GM EV.
Two friends sold their Tesla's and will never buy one again, got Toyota and Hyundai EVs.
Another friend's Tesla lease is up in September, they're ditching it and never buying Tesla again. Unsure what they'll get next though.
Extended family in another state was going to get a Tesla, they just got another gas guzzler instead.
Fuck Tesla. I hope they collapse enough to really really hurt Elon's pocket, they probably won't, but one can dream.
Stocks remain disconnected from actual worth. The stock price indicates a company with more sales/profit than frickin Toyota which sold over 10 million vehicles compared to Teslas 2 million.
Current market cap of Toyota 285Billion, Tesla 996Billion.
The VW Group alone sold 3x the EVs in Europe as Tesla and are valued at 1/20th of Tesla.
What's the GM EV you got and how do you like it? Thinking about buying another EV soon. Probably would have gotten another Tesla if Elon didn't go full Nazi.
Silverado EV. I honestly like it a lot more than I expected and it has grown on me day by day. It is not Tesla-efficient however, but for everything I use it for it performs fantastic and the maintenance is practically non-existent.
My errands around town / daily driver is otherwise an older Chevy Bolt which is just fine as well.
Nice. I was just talking about how sharp those look with a friend a couple days ago. I might hold out until the Rivian R2s come out, but might have to check out the Silverados too.
