Tesla owners are overwhelmingly men, and the most common occupations are engineer, software engineer, and manager of operations, one study found.

Would you drive a car from the guy who can't even handle a website?

[–] Arcturus@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Well, the website is a bit of a distraction. The car sells well in Europe and China respectively, not just the US. Much like how SpaceX has largely been a success globally as well.

I wanted a Tesla before the whole children in a cave episode. Then it went all downhill from then.

Not a musk shill, but teslas have higher safety ratings than like every other car, and nasa certainly trusts him with the rockets. Whats going on with twitter either doesnt relate or he doesnt matter enough to be a concern.

Not a Musk head either but I absolutely thank Tesla for the rise in the technology. I love the idea of electric cars, and although I'll never be able to afford a new one, as I can't spend $600+ a month on a car, it's nice to see us going in a better direction and away from fuel.
