I pity the poor Tesla owners who bought their car when Elon still pretended to be a progressive. But anybody who bought one post Sieg Heil, and particularly a Cybertruck, can fuck right off.

Not to mention the SEC fraud that happened around the same time.
I noticed they recently changed the headlight style on their newer vehicles. Does anyone know exactly when this happened? Was it after Musk's heel turn? It would be useful to know so I can correctly profile these chuds.
Yes, it was after
