"Whether you hate me, like me or are indifferent, do you want the best car, or do you not want the best car?" [Apartheid Manchild] told audiences at an event in November.

Well, for starters I don't want a car at all. I'd rather use public transit. You know, an actually effective means of reducing emissions.

If I were in the market, yes, I would want the best car. Which is why I'd never buy a Tesla. I'd buy an XPeng or a BYD or the like.

Electric vehicles were made to save the auto industry not the environment. His shitty friends that own lithium mines are the highest benefactors.

It's almost as if I SAID EXACTLY THIS. But you just had to be that "Well Akshullleee!" guy, didn't you?

Do you even read before your knee jerks?

That's good a link to another reply to me, how about you provide some independent sources with comparisons to alternatives built outside of China

This article is from like 6 months ago? All that talk about Tesla plummeting, while shares started rising at the end of April and doubled since then.

As for your personal comment, you're free to use public transit if you prefer. I would rather not be dependent and waste hours extra a day just to get somewhere.

But it's pure hypocrisy to lecture about "effective" means of reducing emissions, and then proceed to mention Chinese mass produced electric vehicles as preferred cars.

You know, perhaps you should actually learn about China's EV environment before mouthing off about it. You and your fellow Sinophobic cohorts are looking dumber every day.

Want to know how good Chinese EV technology is becoming? Tesla is buying BYD's batteries…

The best electric car currently is the Volkswagen ID.7. I agree with Musk. Buy it.

/previously Tesla Model 3, now the ID.7

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.
