Electric Vehicles

Cybertruck drivers must truly believe that everyone around them is so happy and impressed. As they look in at all other drivers on the road, they all have huge, incredulous smiles on their faces... Of course it's fully because everyone they are seeing is mid laugh when they see the jackass that dropped over $100k on that divorced dad tramp stamp of a car. So people burst out laughing at that rusty death machine that permanently breaks if you take it through the carwash. The owners have trouble reading emotion in faces though, so they must just feel like a million bucks as they arrive home, grab the items they went to pickup at the store (ED meditation and father's day greeting cards they are forging to send to themselves) and the trunk severs their coke pinkie with the long fingernail.

He is one of the most dangerous people today. Not one penny of my money will go to him willingly from me.

It may be difficult to really say who's part of that group. Years ago, I definitely wanted a Tesla. Would I have been part of that group at that time? Then the downsides started to show up. Poor QA. No independent repairs. Expensive repairs and poor warranty coverage. Their vision of a car controlled by an app. Then Musk went insane.

Then later, when I was in the market for a new car, I didn't seriously consider a Tesla. I looked at them briefly to make sure I wasn't missing out on something big, and found the options to be lackluster. I ended up buying a Bolt.

Would I have bought a Tesla, were it not for Elon's political actions? TBH, probably not. The repairs thing really turned me off. Even though it's largely theoretical (I've yet to find an independent EV mechanic), it's very important that I have the possibility.

I genuinely don't get when they say "haters are just jealous they can't afford it"... Like, no? Seriously? Do you see them hating on Lamborghinis or Ferraris? It doesn't make any sense.

Then that is the reason that you are avoiding them. They know you aren't buying. What's important here is the people that can afford a Tesla but are choosing to look elsewhere because of Elon. This includes repeat customers as well.

Even if they fired Elon tomorrow I wouldn't buy one for this reason. A few years ago they were the only viable option for an electric car, so people overlooked a lot to get one of them. But now there's a ton of electric cars and even more coming out in the future. Why would I go with a company that's had pretty significant issues over one from a company with more experience building cars?

I still boycott Chic-Fil-Subpar.

I've had it for free a couple times and I cannot understand what the hype is all about. I can go down the street to a mom and pop place and get a way better chicken sandwich for the same price and I don't have to wait in a line wrapping around the block. It's definitely some cult behavior.

But yeah, I have LGBTQ people in my life so I don't need to support an anti-LGBTQ corporation. Unfortunately, most Americans like tasty treats and shiny objects more than morality or accountability.

I'm still among those people. On the rare occasion that I am presented with no option for food other than Chik-Fil-A, I find their food disgusting. I only have two data points - nuggets and hash browns - and both were excessively greasy, bland turds.

My girlfriend's mom gifted her a Hobby Lobby gift card. We regifted it back to her the following year.

Exactly this, I would've bought one eventually if he'd just shut up, a lot of would.

But why would I support an openly racist, fascist, fuckhead trying to buy his way into power? Toyota, Honda, Kia, and all the other corpos are plenty evil and have the manufacturing and support experience an auto maker needs.

The idea of a generic parts "libreauto" is cool. A frame/chassis designed to accept drop-in parts from other established manufacturers so you could part out wrecked cars and assemble them into your own frankencar.

Yeah I've been pissed off with elon since he turned project redwood into a cash grab.. $37500 is a goddamn ripoff.

I was looking at an electric car, decided against it because they are way too expensive. But during my research Tesla was completely out of the question for me because I will never support that piece of shit.

I avoid teslas because I have a white car and I don't want them to crash into me.
