      Decent first step with the Cybertruck. Though he botched it and instead of making owners pariahs, they turn owners into clowns and lacerated patients.

        Gotta get one of the “I bought this before we knew Elon was an asshole” bumper stickers.

        Obviously only works on a car that came out before we knew Elon was an asshole

      There’s a guy in Hawaii selling “I bought this before I knew Elon was crazy” bumper stickers for $10, and he’s already sold over 10,000 this year.

      Where I live there’s not many teslas.

      But I saw one the other day and it was squeaking like a cheap plastic toy.

      I wasn’t going to buy one. But seeing such bad quality construction even noticable by afar, reaffirmed my choice.

        There are a ton around me. Every time I pass one I pay close attention to the body. Many times, it looks to me like the body panels just don’t line up. They kind of look like shit TBH.

          Yeah, I’ve ridden in a few and the build quality issues are noticeable.

          They have some features I like, especially the door handles. Those are super cool. And by all means, I want more EV sales in general.

          But like, comparing a Tesla to something like a Hyundai Ioniq is just night and day.

      I already peg Tesla drivers next to Altimas and Ram 2500s, just different energy

      Tesla is for the people who don’t want to drive a car, and their driving aptitude is frequently on full display

      Altimas and Ram needs no further explanation, you already know

      Tesla is already a rolling pile of shit. How much more punishment do you want their owners to have?
