Good idea. Then, this entitled, out-of-touch crybaby can sue the kid that took his juice in Kindergarten!

Ditto. I have 3 requirements above the current cars though:

• Better range
• more physical controls, everything that isn't media or GPs needs physical buttons
• Elon must not profit

Same here, even with all the BS around Twitter and his political views... I WAS still considering a Tesla, but with the pro-Trump PAC and the deep fakes on Xitter it's just another level of bullshit.

Hoping he gets forced out in the next year because I also don't want to buy from a dealership, which doesn't leave me a lot of options for an EV.

Germany's satire newspaper Der Postillon already has an article about that. Amazing article, really.

https://www.der-postillon.com/2024/08/cybertruck-klage.html

"The fact that billions of people still haven't bought a Cybertruck and that Tesla's stock market value is rapidly declining is a conspiracy of left-wing woke elites and a major threat to freedom of speech," Musk continued, while handing hush money to a newly pregnant employee. "To everyone who doesn't have a Cybertruck yet: Fuck You!"

I only like the part where you can just order from the website instead of going to a dealership where after one hour of talking and giving you a plethora of personal data that is guaranteed to inundate you with spam they tell you that due to high demand the car sells for 3k over MSRP

For the rest, while I really like the clean design, for me a car must have

• A stalk for the indicator lights
• Gear selector on physical buttons
• Climate on physical buttons
• If it comes with automatic windshield, a $1 wet sensor that works in any visibility instead of trying to do it in software with computer vision
• If it comes with parking sensors, an array of $2 ultrasonic sensors that always work instead of trying to do it in software with computer vision
• Android auto/carplay. I want to be able to choose which app is used with navigation or use different ways to send messages besides sms. If the car operating system doesn't allow me to send messages using signal or to use offline openstreetmaps, then for me it's limited

I'd rather buy from a company ran buy someone who's main job is running the company rather than being a social media MAGA influencer

Recruiters??!?!!?!

Why in the world would he possibly need to recruit people:

• To come live in abject fear of his every whim?
• To be expected to work 24 hours a day seven days a week?
• To not be able to have a family?

All the best talent will be lining up for some of that!!!!

At this point having Tesla on your résumé means you couldn’t do better.

I was in the market for an EV shortly after he took over twitter. I ruled Tesla out because I do not want to be seen to support that douche in any way.

I'm one. When he moved Tesla engineers to work on Twitter and then went on an unhinged anti-Trans rant in the middle of an earnings call, I shopped around and traded in my model 3. I always assumed the major selling point of a Tesla was the software, but he keeps fucking with the people who make it.

Which one?

72% of stakeholder vote favored giving him a stupid huge bonus, even stupid by rich billionaire standards. This was after TSLA took a hit and their sales were down and their unit prices were way down.

Tesla's all in on Musk. Probably easier to accept as someone who never did like their particular cars and if anything is a bit annoyed that the traditional car companies felt compelled to copy the stupid parts of Tesla when making their EVs. I can see if someone liked Tesla how they could hope to evict Musk... Just not going to happen.

They're all his friends and family who Musk made very rich. They're not gonna dump him.

Maybe they should buy EVs to own the libs.

When I first started seeing Tesla cars on the road, I would think, "Must be nice. I can't wait for the price of Teslas to go down."

Now when I see them, I wonder if the driver regrets owning one.

Guy who owned the company I used to work for owned one when it was considered prestigious, and last year traded it in for a Genesis.

Elon Musk ~~’s backing of Donald Trump~~ is hurting Tesla ~~’s struggling EV business in Europe~~
