    No, not even if Elon divested.

    Teslas are bad cars. They are unsafe cars. They are very expensive for what they do.

    They are electric, but there are better, cheaper electric cars.

    They are also highly connected cars, which unfortunately is the same as all current cars.

    My ideal next car would be a 2015 Accord, with no GSM/LTE connectivity.

      If I was gifted one I’d host a smash the Tesla neighborhood party.

      Free admission, sledgehammers provided.

      I’d definitely take one for free.

      Immediately sell it to carmax or carvana or wherever.

      The money from even one of the older ones would do me a lot of good even with the trade in value of all teslas cratering right now.

    My good ‘friend’, Ramzan Kadyrov had his cybertruck remotely disabled by Elon Musk.

    That is enough reason to not buy a Tesla, no?

    Even if you’re one of the troglodytes who is fine with Musks fascist politics, the risk of getting your car vandalized would be problematic. I dont know now why anyone would buy a tesla anymore. Other cars have full self driving too, while tesla does not, although they’ve been promising to have it soon for 8 years now. They are not the technology leader in that area. Waymo, Cruise, and Mobileye are all far ahead of Tesla.

    I’d buy one if Musk was ousted. Despite what the internet would have you believe, they’re pretty decent cars and there’s still not really a lot of competition if you look at it dollar for dollar. But as long as Musk had any say in the company I absolutely wouldn’t buy one.

    I wonder if we can build a secondary market for lightly used tesla components and electrify a bunch of classic vehicles instead.

    I’d love to electrify my old element.

    Not even with Musk’s money. No wait, that’s not true, I’d have someone paint Musk’s face on a dummy, put it in the driver’s seat, and autopilot that shit into a landfill somewhere with as many cameras filming it as I could get on short notice.
