Why hasn't anyone mentioned that the Model Y is butt ugly too?

Yeah. They suck. Complete junk. They've sold something like 2 million of them... the Lada sold 20 million units; does that make it a good car? Really stupid argument.

At least the Prius had decent QC.
It's obvious you can't even have a debate. Calling people pieces of ####. Fine that's your opinion, whatever. Pretty sure every single one of those people are more successful than you.

They suck, they're garbage blah blah. Great points. Well done

Also very presumptuous to assume they bought it and weren't given one for free for the PR.

Isn't being associated with Musk bad PR. So why even accept it then?

Free #### is free #### last time I checked. If Elon offered me a free car now I'd certainly take it.

If I bought a raffle ticket for $20 and won a Tesla, I'd sell it and get my $20 back.

Did anyone hear the Model Y was the best selling car globally? Not sure where I heard that.

BEV are becoming giant paperweights. Next to no resale as you don't know how bad the battery is trashed (I won't believe their "battery Life" rating) and Hertz has flooded the market with uses BEV as they wanted out of the market.

Tesla has 3 cars and one truck

In the same space Toyota has 15 non electric cars. This doesn’t even count the luxury Lexus brand. The electric market has not matured to the point where it micro targets different groups.

So if you are looking for a non-electric vehicle you have so many more options to choose from that you can custom tune your choice to your perceived needs. In the electric market you don’t have that same choice. This means that the number of cars of a particular brand are split.

In this environment it’s unlikely that Toyota would have the best selling vehicle again until they either can produce enough RAV4 primes or the electric market becomes more diversified in terms of choice.

So it becomes rather meaningless in terms of quality.

If you think Musk bought Twitter to support free speech, try posting the word “cisgender” in a tweet.

Or note that the NPR articles about the Arlington cemetery were being censored.

Either way, Tesla has been making the service process worse, and that’s affecting service times, which is affecting insurance rates for them.

There’s no Tesla vehicle id take for free right now.

The dweebs who make owning a Tesla part of their identity have to be some of the funniest, mock-worthy car owners on the planet. And that’s in a world where people who drive Rams have to clarify that they don’t own white Oakleys.

Seriously.

Imagine a Jeep owner bootlicking Walter Chrysler.

Imagine a Hyundai owner responding to quality criticisms by saying, “WOW so I guess SALES mean nothing to you??”

Imagine a Toyota owner desperately listing off all the celebrities that drive Toyotas.

Absolute classic.

I wouldn't buy a Tesla at Gunpoint.

And the reasons why are plentiful...the fact that they're designed by a genuine Bond Villain doesn't even crack the Top 5.

Now. I think we can all agree that this is a genuine issue.

I think Teslas are still pretty cool and I wouldn't refuse one for super cheap or given to me, but I don't think I'd buy one at close to full price just hear too many bad things about the quality of their service and cars. His constant over promising also doesn't inspire any kind of confidence.

Musk's various lawsuits trying to block people's speech or trying to limit advertisers' freedom to choose not to advertise on his platform kind of contradicts the whole protecting free speech narrative Musk wants people to believe.

Elon Musk is a bad person. I hope Tesla goes bankrupt.

Buys Twitter pretending to protect free speech but then limits free speech more than old Twitter.
