Agreed. Love my Y but fuck Elon Musk.

i don't think a lot of people are driving a tesla because they ant to give money to the musk. i also don't think that guy had a lot to do with

  • the software
  • the build quality
  • the design of the car

other than 'i want that' or 'looks good to me'

People don't have to interact with Elon when buying a Tesla. They do have to interact with dealers when buying another car. It's not surprising so many people chose Tesla.

Reminds me of the bill Desantis signed in Florida a few months back making it so gas powered vehicles HAVE to be purchased from a dealer and cannot be purchased directly from the manufacturer. Telsa doesn't get hit by that bill, surely has nothing to do with Desantis owning a Tesla.

I drove a Y for about 700 km this summer. It was OK.

I enjoyed driving an Audi E-tron much more. And my BMW i3 is a masterpiece as a daily city driver.

This. I've actually had people come up to me and go hurr durr fuck your Tesla. I usually ask them who the CEO of their car make is and they never know.

The group think is horrifying

Somebody who isn't a giant asshat loudly trying to manipulate the populace's political opinions.

Otherwise they would know. Being famous isn't always a good thing.

Now if you asked who were the lead engineers/designers for said vehicles it would mean more about the vehicle itself (but most everyone wouldn't have looked them up or found their names)
