A lot of them have a similar mindset. Their next cars won’t be Teslas. That’s going to be a problem for the company moving forward.
GladiusB@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Which really sucks. Because it was making great strides in the movement of moving away from petroleum dependency.

I see a few Teslas in town, and I always wonder about this. There was a time when Tesla was a viable option, but now there are so many better EVs on the market, more affordable, and that doesn’t come with the baggage of crazy that Tesla does. Plus, buying one now with the strikes that are going on is just unethical.
OpenPassageways@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
I haven’t seen an AWD EV more affordable than the M3 yet, and the last I checked the nearest supercharging station is only for Teslas.
For me NOT buying from a scummy car dealership is also part of my criteria.
So it looks like it’s basically a choice between Tesla and Rivian for me and there’s a big price difference.
Would be interested to check out some other options though.

I think it’s funny that every time someone claims there are better and more affordable EVs on the market someone who actually knows what they’re talking about comments about how a Tesla is still the only car that meets their criteria. Like, yes, there are actually a fair number of viable EVs out there, but it still depends on your needs and priorities.
I’ve been looking at a used eGolf. It’s got completely shit range, but I don’t consider that enough of a problem for me compared to the other things I like about it.

My grandmother was used as slave labor by BMW making Nazi plane engines in the camps, so, I'm the wrong guy to make this joke to. But who cares about how anyone feels, or actual responsibility, not many. Enjoy your Teslas, and VW's, and Chick Fil A's, I'm gonna keep talking about this shit like it matters because for some of us it does

But who cares about how anyone feels, or actual responsibility, not many, especially the 4chanification of the online discourse

did you tailgate him just to take this picture lmao
BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Took the picture at a red light. Though I would have followed him for a while to get to a red light to get the picture.

I call BS. It’s been apparent for years Elon is an ass clown. I never liked him because I don’t like billionaires, but it was when he called the driver who rescued those kids stuck in a cave a pedophile just because he didn’t get to use his submersible he had space x build. That was 2018. I’m sure there were red flags before that but that was when I lost respect for anyone who likes him.
ryathal@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
I’d give a pass for a roadster or model s, but after that you really just ignored the signs.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 months ago
There’s an absolutely horrifying article in The Nation (paywalled, so use 12ft.io) about the horrible racism and misogyny at Tesla factories, but the parts that really stuck out were the parts about how they get basically no job training and speed is valued over quality.
I’m never getting into a Tesla.

Virtue signaling explained in a single picture.
GladiusB@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Oh is it? It couldn’t just be a joke. Or hear me out and opinion. And o-pin-yun is this fancy way of signaling to others your virtues. It’s a new technology I believe developed by the Romans that can be found on many media formats.
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 8 months ago
That’s basically what virtue signaling is, isn’t it? A loosely held opinion that X is good or Y is bad without any firm conviction behind it. Like, “I’m against ethnic cleansing in Palestine but I’m not gonna boycott Israel because that could be considered antisemitic” or somesuch.
It’s basically trying to have your cake while eating it, too, like this guy, driving his Tesla while telling people he actually hates what it (or rather, Elon) stands for.

Hey op. I’m removing this because the license plate isn’t blurred. Would you please resubmit with it blocked out?
Davel23@fedia.io 8 months ago
I wouldn't put it past Elon to track this guy down via the plate number then remotely disable his car.
humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Or just disable the brakes.
stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 8 months ago
That has a high likelihood of also disabling the car.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yeah, regardless of Musk’s issues, it’s generally considered good practice to censor the plate numbers.
