We’ve known for years that the owner is a lying, creepy, out of touch dipshit and that it’s a very flawed car and the company will cut costs to save money on safety items, every time.

Electric vehicles with drive assist are awesome and are the future, but there are alternatives, especially if you have money, which a lot of Tesla customers do. And they’re not particularly well built; how many of these do you think will be on the road 20 years from now? And now we’ve seen how Elaine runs their companies, why the hell would anybody put their trust in their products?

If you’ve bought a Tesla in the last five or so years, you’re a damn goober in my eyes. That’s my hot take, prepared for being called poor and other sodium, tear filled comments from fools whose opinions don’t matter. You are the hardcore, foaming at the mouth Segway fan from the 2000s, have at me lol.

Update: The teary eyed, sweaty fingered responses to this are predictably hilarious. I’ve been called a guy that eats 4 pizzas a week in another old thread because of this, a cunt, a tool, a douche, a couple people spent their energy to tell me they don’t understand me spending my energy posting this, some people are telling me something about Tesla or Elaine living in my head rent free. All genuinely pathetic responses, so GG lol. Cheers.

    Teslas build quality has been hit or miss since they came on the market.

    I will always respect them for showing people that electric cars can be viable and fun. But nowadays, I would never bring myself to buy one knowing that some of the profit is going towards that fucking imbicile who owns twitter.

    While I’m not looking to get a new car rn. Down the road I’d like to consider something like a Toyota BZ4X. The first gen has a few issues that need to be ironed out. But a few years from now, I reckon itl be a great option

    That or something like it from Honda. Those two brands are who I trust most in terms of reliablity and build quality if I’m going to make an investment in a new kind of car, I want it to be them.

      Hyundai and Toyota aren’t investing in EVs like they should. Kia and Hyundai are way ahead. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is what the BZ4X hopes it will be in 4 years. The Hyundai has a more advanced battery and better overall performance, and it looks better.

      Did they do that though? Did they show they were viable and fun? Or is Elon Musk just better at social media than General Motors?
