I'm someone who's buying an EV and due to Elon alone, I won't buy a Tesla. I've wanted one for so long but waited for the data to show how well they hold up after years of use and now that the data is out, I'm buying a non-Tesla. Thanks Elon, you moron.
I literally sold mine because I was embarrassed to drive one after Musk called that cave diver a pedophile.
And that was just the tip of the shitberg.
Ugh.. I almost forgot about that. What an insufferable jerk he turned out to be.
I have a datapoint of 1, but I've also heard from my wife that when she's traveling outside the US, so many cab companies and rideshare drivers have started using Teslas that the brand prestige is taking a hit, regardless of quality (which is also low).
Interesting… where I’m from most cabs are Mercedes limousines. I never heard about people thinking less of Mercedes because they are popular with taxi drivers.
Sure, be repelled by the dork, but stay away because of the unsafe lack of tactile dashboard controls.
The fact that they removed the stalks on the steering column so all functions are on the screen is reason enough. Do I really want to slide my finger up/down to change from D to R? I know they have wipers on the steering wheel, as well as turn signals but the changing of gears? Hard pass.
