Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

But like most things of this nature, it won't even make a dent in sales. I'm all for doing something like this for personal satisfaction, but it's too fringe to expect everyone to join in.
Everyone plays a small part. It's kind of like voting. My vote is one in a million but I still must vote, if everyone thinks they should not vote because their vote is only one in a million it will be bad. We must try the best we can and urge everyone we know to boycott Tesla and Twitter and in addition urge them to spread the message along to their friend groups. Trying is always better than not trying. Helping doesn't require any additional effort. For example maybe you're out of interesting conversation topics with friends, maybe you could mention something like "did you hear about the Tesla that caught on fire?" (mention one of the many, many times this has happened, be sure to clarify that other EV brands are more safe so people go to another EV brand, not an ICE car) then later say "I heard that Tesla cars are dangerous because the doors automatically lock in an expulsion and they also lie about their range" ... "This knowledge could save your friends or family, be sure to pass it along" When you say interesting facts like that to people they may repeat it even if you don't ask them to.
Fair points!
