I don't know how many people are like me, but I'll never buy a Tesla out of principle. I will not support fascist adjacent assholes.

Once you start looking into the products you buy, you may find it’s harder to do than you’d hope. This guy is just more incompetent at keeping quiet about it than most.

That's where I am at now. The whole "There is no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism" thing really eats at you. But I still know I won't buy a Tesla for a host of reasons.

That, and they are sucky cars. Build quality is ass, they hide features behind DLC, they are designed to be tech bro minimalist to a fault, and sales are collapsing right now for Tesla.
