I used to want a Tesla... Now I don't. That's 60% Elon and 40% their poor build quality.
The second percentage should be higher. It's not, though. Elon is a very hateable person due to his low IQ, and astronomically high level of arrogance.
I honestly couldn't understand how people had any praise for him in years past. He always came across as (yet another) embarrassing forever teenager, born with a silver spoon in his mouth and little sympathy for or understanding of others.
This is in vast contrast to Bill Gates who (despite my loathing of Microsoft's business practices, especially in the 90's and early 00's) continued to grow and earned some respect with his philanthropic endeavours and just generally acting like an educated adult.
Still, I'd rather have fewer rich jetsetters and more competent Governments and international institutions, effectively working to better mankind.
I gave him the benefit of the doubt, although there was certainly doubt, until the "pedo guy" thing. Then I realized he was just a manchild. And, of course, he used his high-priced lawyers to get out of that obvious slander in court.
Same for me. Was saving for a Tesla, but now I'll go with a different brand. For me, it's 75% Elon and 25% that I'm just starting to prefer what other EV makers are putting on the market.
As much as I hate Elon, the poor quality would be like 90% reason. I prefer being alive more than I hate Elon by a huge margin.
Oh no, they're very safe. You just might not be able to open your trunk or roll down windows for eight months until the dealership 200 miles away can attempt to look at the problem, fix the trunk, and somehow break the passenger door in the process.
From what I hear the cars like to burn a lot. And I myself am not a fan of being burned alive. YMMV.
Its just been few months if not years , that elon had an image of real life iron man and what not ! 😂
Well, that's not actually true for everyone. I've been talking about this guy being a douchebag for years. I have a relative that told me three years ago that I was just jealous of his success.
I really want to talk to that guy again now... Maybe the next reunion, haha.
Your post does not contain enough edgy for him to read or notice it. Have you considered what Neo would say in the Matrix?
