I honestly would love to buy an electric car, but Musk himself is probably the number one reason I’ll never touch a Tesla. All the other stuff just reinforces why I shouldn’t buy one, but just not wanting to give any money to that dickhead is my primary reason for not going with one. Maybe all the other car company execs are dipshits too, but they at least have the sense to not talk so much.
For me, it was when reports were coming out that Tesla actually made repairs harder and didn’t allow shops to repair their vehicles without voiding the warranty.
It’s like if Apple sold a car. Proprietary shit can just get the fuck out.
Same, I’ve wanted a Tesla fpr over a decade. I’ve had my Volt for almost 9 years now and am starting to think about buying a new fully electric car, but Tesla is now firmly off my list and it’s entirely down to Musk’s shitty behavior.

Or the price premium for FSD that doesn’t actually work?
Or the reports of poor build quality?
Or the difficulty in getting service?
The lack of customer service?
Or maybe people don’t want to support a company run by an unstable dickhead?
Your last reason is the reason I sold mine. Yes they already got my money, but I took one new customer away from their new sells.

Musk is why we won’t consider Tesla when we get to that point. It’s also why we won’t use starlink.
Ditto. I vetoed Starlink at home for the exact same reason.
