No, not even if Elon divested.

Teslas are bad cars. They are unsafe cars. They are very expensive for what they do.

They are electric, but there are better, cheaper electric cars.

They are also highly connected cars, which unfortunately is the same as all current cars.

My ideal next car would be a 2015 Accord, with no GSM/LTE connectivity.

Shit. I wouldn’t buy one before Leon let the nazi out because they don’t support CarPlay, imagine now.

Short answer: no. Long answer: Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck no.

Still? I never even considered it. Expensive, poor quality.

I hated Tesla in 2018, and I still hate them to this day.

I wouldn't take one for free

No

Fuck no

I wonder if we can build a secondary market for lightly used tesla components and electrify a bunch of classic vehicles instead.

I'd love to electrify my old element.

I’ve always been a bit disturbed at the sheer volume of telemetry they collect.

I was happy that Tesla existed, as it helped give the auto industry the kick in the pants it needed, but I can never see myself actually buying one. My next car won’t be domestic.

lol no. There’s more cons than pros to other brands. A tonka truck from toys r us is better built.

No. I'm embarrassed to be driving one now .

I was at a Buc-cee's today, an incredibly busy spring break Saturday. The entire row of Tesla chargers were all lined up pointed nose out, with most of them occupied, watching the people and cars in front of them.

I drove past them slowly, giving the bird the entire way. I don't know how many saw, but a few must have.

It was childish and petty, but satisfying. I regret nothing.

Fuck no.

Even if you're one of the troglodytes who is fine with Musks fascist politics, the risk of getting your car vandalized would be problematic. I dont know now why anyone would buy a tesla anymore. Other cars have full self driving too, while tesla does not, although they've been promising to have it soon for 8 years now. They are not the technology leader in that area. Waymo, Cruise, and Mobileye are all far ahead of Tesla.

Nope, so happy I bought a bolt last year.

Not a big question, and no I would not

My good ‘friend’, Ramzan Kadyrov had his cybertruck remotely disabled by Elon Musk.

That is enough reason to not buy a Tesla, no?

I’ve been driving electric for 10 years now and fuck no, never.

No.

But to be clear, somewhere over the last 20 years it seems I've also fallen out of the middle class? I bought a new car fresh out of college, and then again about 10 years later. But I look at the price of new cars today, and they're simply not a purchase I can afford. So, it looks like I'm not going to be buying any new cars anymore, Tesla or otherwise. That feels weird.

I'd buy one if Musk was ousted. Despite what the internet would have you believe, they're pretty decent cars and there's still not really a lot of competition if you look at it dollar for dollar. But as long as Musk had any say in the company I absolutely wouldn't buy one.

The Big Answer: Not on Your Nelly!!

Pfft...

As if... 🙄 🤡 🖕 🖕

NO

No. I have a 2021 model 3 that I bought in 2022. If I sold it, it'd be at a loss since I still have a loan for it. Back then it was still the car to get for the money.

Again, no. I would not buy one now. Fuck no.

Not even with Musk's money. No wait, that's not true, I'd have someone paint Musk's face on a dummy, put it in the driver's seat, and autopilot that shit into a landfill somewhere with as many cameras filming it as I could get on short notice.

I'll buy it's battery after scrappers rip the car apart.

No

I honestly don't understand why people are protesting this way. Most Tesla owners bought their car before they knew Elon was that kind of crazy, myself included. The value of my Tesla has dropped below what I owe, and selling it would hurt me financially, but then at the same time it would provide a really great deal for a conservative that really supports Trump/Musk.

The most effective protest would be to not buy a new one and not sell your current one. Lack of used Tesla's available would mean used price goes up, but then lack of new sales would mean new price would need to go down. There will always be people buying a new Tesla, but low sales would hurt the stock price and lower cost would hurt the profit margin.

I did test drive the new model Y. I like it, but I wouldn't get FSD because it's dangerous. I like that it's one of the most American made vehicles. I'm not going to buy it because of Elon.

You can't put people in jail for not selling or buying a Tesla. Why not just protest that way?

still

lol

No, the big question is how much would you pay for a Tesla? I'd buy one for $20.

Fuck no.

I'd buy one for cheap used so that Elon doesn't get any money from me.

However, if I'm going to upgrade my hybrid to an electric, it's probably going to be an Ioniq 5.

I already decided against them when I bought a vehicle in 2022 because he was being a dickbag trying to back out of his deal to buy twitter.

I bought one in 2021. Cancelled my plans to upgrade.
