@wintermute_oregon @realcaseyrollins tesla is not better than anythign and is not green in any way
Comment on Liberals are losing their minds over Elon Musk

Which is funny. They should support Tesla since it’s our path to green cars. Tesla is much better than anything else on the market. Don’t let politics get in your way of supporting highly paid workers who are building a product that supports your ideology. I had a Tesla. That car was amazing. I’ll get another one even if Elon flips full liberal again. Too many other people are involved to care about Elon

They loved him until he supported the right
Rhoeri@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No, we admired some of the things he did- until he showed who he really is. A racist piece of MAGA-loving shit.

I think that’s why they hate him so much. He was their idol then he committed the heinous act of wrong speak and betrayed them.

There are still 100k other people in the company.
It’s funny they’ll rant about Elon but by from a car company that doesn’t pay their employees as well or isn’t a eco friendly.
Don’t let politics get in the way of the better product for your values.
I am big on the environment. As such the Tesla is my choice for electric cars.

If you’re big on the environment why support someone who intentionally gets public transit blocked so they can build.some underground car subway that doesnt function as well as a regular one? It doesnt make sense to say you prioritize the environment and then give your money to someone who actively works against it. Cause the only real way to take care of the environment in transit is not EVs, or green components, or robotaxis. Its fucken trains, make your cities use trains to move more people around for less. Thats it, and Elon actively sabotages that.

In Vegas no public transit was blocked. Not sure where you made that up. That also has nothing to do with Tesla. That’s boring company.
I am not taking a train a few miles. Ev cars serve that purpose.

In what way?
They have had more digital recalls than any other product ever developed in the history of digital recalls.
They also rate among the 10 highest in physical recalls and required maintenance, despite EVs on average needing far less maintenance than combustion engines.
Tesla’s build quality is notoriously bad, with some of the widest part tolerances in the industry. Panels are regularly off by as much as 5° and 2mm.
Have you had other EVs, or was this your only dip into the market? Which ones?

It’s the only one I’ve owned. I’ve driven about a dozen.
Tesla designed an EV. The others feel like a gas with ev slapped on to it. It’s not even the same experience
