Only for 2024 and later models.

Oh wait, they all look the same since Tesla never updates their style.

This is probably a fair comment, one of the things that sucks about the company is their utter lack of innovation (ironic I know)

But being critical of Tesla owners probably isn't. In General Tesla owners probably even recent one tip pretty far on the progressive end of the spectrum on average.

Yup, my wife researched and researched, she’s way more progressive than me. She did agonize over the musk factor and this was three years ago, she bought it. We have a Tesla, she’s not a bad person at all.

Tesla owners are not bad or stupid people. My daughter and son-in-law own one and they’re very smart. Just made a bad purchase decision, in my opinion, when no one could have predicted this mess. They wanted me to buy one so I dodged that bullet.

I’d add, that we love the car for what we need it for. It’s only a bad purchase decision because of the idiot at the top and nothing else.

You’re saying the made a bad vehicle purchase because of the manufacturers owners politics?

Does that become a part of new car research go forward?

Or are you saying you just don’t like electric vehicles?

I don't care what they call me, I find it funny and as a great retort, I ask them how they like paying Trudeau's carbon tax cause I pay nothing and it pisses them off to no end.

Now people who bought a Tesla are being shunned by the left. Presumably most have bought their vehicles in good faith because the want to make a difference, because the carbon tax the left has touted works so well...


I can't afford to sell and buy again.





Must suck for you to live in Vancouver with fascist ###### all over. Can not find Tesla at any light. Maybe put your money where you think ours should go and move if you think it's that bad

Where can Tesla owners hide now? Both the right and left after them with their pitchforks and torches.

Politics is not the same as being a Nazi. I'm pretty sure that the majority of CEOs are not Nazis, so that makes it fairly easy for most purchases.

I don’t really follow the Musk saga. I actually don’t watch the news ever. I saw the photos of him saluting. I doubt he’s a nazi.

Albeit I have followed a bit about what the DOGE has been uncovering. That’s a lot like lifting a rock up at the beach. I often wonder where all my tax dollars go. Not sure which is better. Finding out and being mad. Or being blind to it.

I know a lot of people are not enamoured with what he’s doing. But I don’t think it’s ever a bad thing to hold government accountable

Some Tesla owners only purchased them because they thought it was the Reich thing to do.

For me, at the time, Tesla cars were the only EV's you could get at a reasonable amount of time. 2 months for me, I remember talking to dealers about the Ioniq's and was looking at almost a year and they couldn't guarantee the purchase price when I put down a deposit. I'm not a car guy and I needed a EV so Tesla it was

It's almost like alienenating your entire consumer base was a poor marketing strategy.

Exactly! They're Politically confused and Morally bankrupt and they overpaid for a crappy car and have to drive a Tesla!

Are they not being punished enough??

OK, so you claim ignorance. That's one thing. To immediately follow with "I doubt he's a nazi" I have to ask what you base that on if you are ignorant to facts? How can you make a judgment without knowing? It's illogical. OK, so the fact is he's a nazi and there is plenty of evidence out there. You don't have to doubt. You can find out yourself.

As to being enamored that he's found a way to cut government spending by, well, cutting government services, I have to ask how you thought government worked? He's cut funding for the NIH, which does a #### load of medical research and patient care. He's cut foreign aid, which ####s up international relations, and leads to actual people dying, if you care. Success? He's also blatantly lied about a lot of "waste" he's finding, like condoms for Gaza, and funding for Politico, which is actually just the government buying services. But he'll ye'll like an angry gibbon about the "waste" and his millions of brainwashed minions will celebrate, as if he's just saved money and not made many things the US does far worse.

Oh, and he's also busy cutting pretty much every arm of the government that is investigating him and his companies illegal acts, so that's been pretty good for the worlds richest man.

Maybe try a new tact? Not being ignorant?

You should try learning about things before you form an opinion on them. Save yourself the embarrassment.
