I am not denying that Elon is shitty. But people don't buy cars based on their manufacturing owners. There is a need and they are fulfilling that need. Should they have known? Probably. But it's also not a usual requirement for purchasing a car.
Well, if you go back to my original comment, all I said was that Tesla owners were clearly not paying attention to even their News notifications on their phones, since Musk's presence is ubiquitous. Tesla's multitude of issues is equally as well-known.
That said, I didn't wish anybody any harm for buying a Tesla, although they probably will get harmed when the "self-driving" feature inevitably sends them speeding into a brick wall.
But buying that garbage car was their choice.
