We shouldn't make people scared for owning a Tesla, just embarrassed.
i'm gonna lean on the side of "fuck that shit" on this one. buying a tesla is a choice. maga are terrorizing people for things they didn't choose like skin color, gender, sexual orientation, etc, and that list will only get longer
fuck tesla, and fuck tesla buyers. unlike their holy godman idol musk, i value empathy. but not for people who pridefully show none of it themselves
For many of us we've had our vehicles for a long time before Elon went dipshit crazy. For some it's because EVs were essentially dogshit before the Model 3 was introduced. Either short range grocery getters or expensive luxury. Even now most "electrified" vehicles everyone advertises are hybrids, not EVs.
I got my Model 3 near the end of 2018. Elon wasn't posting far right and Nazi shit at that time. He was sort of controversial, but that was about it.
Yeah, I'm sure a lot of people are in that unfortunate situation. I can't imagine the trade in value is improved. Sorry you're getting shit for buying a vehicle that was supposed to be less harmful to the environment, I guess the lesson is avoid musk products.
