even if you like Elon, which you shouldn't, they are very poorly made cars, with straight up dangerous UX design on the inside, once safety ratings incorporate infotainement Teslas will plummet in ratings and deservedly so.

Yep, was interested back in 2018/2019. Have zero interest in buying one now.
I didn’t care one way or the other about the Boer except that he was talking about developing a sub-3 model, which piqued my interest. Then in 2018 he pulled the main character syndrome bullshit with his cobbled-together rescue sub and the “pedo guy” crap, and decided that maybe I’m not that interested, especially as at that time, he was also making a bunch of promises that he clearly had no intention of keeping (aforementioned entry level model, FSD, and so on). Now that I am in a position that I can buy one of his cars, it’s not even on my list, for so many reasons.
His “heel turn” on Twitter was telegraphed a light year away, and while I’m disappointed it’s taken this long, I’m glad he’s finally going to start reaping his blight.
I just hope that Rivian can stay afloat and that their CEO Steve-O is a relatively okay person because that R3 is looking good.
Yep, and the quality of quite suspect
Or hear me out.
Its a car company with poor track record and little IP.
The big car companies produce better more reliable vehicles with even the little things like physical controls being preferred.

People are realizing how shitty Tesla is because of Musk's shitty behavior
In 2022(?) when he was up to his shit trying not to buy twitter, despite having agreed to buy, space-x employees signed a petition to have him step down for his negative influence. I believe he retaliated by firing people and they filed a wrongful termination lawsuit, but I leave it to someone else to correct me if I’m wrong.
I know that I considered his brand when buying a car after ten years of living a car-free lifestyle. The pan made it impossible to rely upon Uber and I would have bought a Tesla if they weren’t massively backordered. I settled on a hybrid because I could get one much sooner. I’d light myself on fire rather than pay for one of this shitbag’s car today, however.

That is the right thing to do
Not unlike a certain kind of hurensohn...
People are waking up to the obvious fact that what they thought were Tesla-specific features (like the powerful torque and acceleration) are actually features of a battery powered electric motor per se. Saying that to a Tesla-Fan will still get you a “why are you hating” reply. Musk and Trump truly have figured out how to brainwash the dumbest.
