My friend’s father bought a 2025 Tesla after my friend begged him not to, but a boomer’s gotta boomer. Suffice to say, it hasn’t gone well for him, so the man went and put this decal on his car. My brother in Christ, you are driving a freshly redesigned car. Nobody is going to believe your swastikar is pre-COVID.

Elon went crazy in 2018 at the latest (the Thai cave rescue thing). Anybody who bought one of his cars after that knew what they were getting into.
Depends on, I personally know otherwise very political people who didn’t know about the Thai cave rescue controversy, while others still think he’s “just a bit upset that his child transitioned”, because they read “non-loony lefty sources”, that downplay his transphobia.
Ok, I’ll rephrase: Anybody who bought one of his cars after that only has themselves to blame for being ignorant and shouldn’t expect any absolution from me.
after 2022, twitter purchase. yea they should know better.
As long as Elon has been in the spotlight I’ve read about what an awful company Tesla is, how innovative SpaceX is but at the same time has horrible leadership to work for.
It was even before 2017 when I tried talking my brother out of buying one because of how clear it was they were cutting corners, hiding behind minimalism to excuse their lacking plastic covered interior.
I refuse to give anyone a pass for buying one, the writing has been on the wall since day one. Any Tesla owner is just another slave to the zeitgeist.
Elon was always crazy and it was so obvious.
Less obvious if your not paying attention to him and only hear things about him from his fans…or atleast back in 2017. Now it’s basically impossible not to notice he’s a twat
Elon was always a crazy racist cunt. You never bought it before he went crazy. There was no before.
General public sentiment was very positive around 7-8yr ago. We know you’re very smart and special for disliking him before that, but that doesn’t change the fact that most people liked him still.
For my part I got off the train after those kids that got trapped in the cave.
I disliked him before that, but that was more like “he overworks his employees and there’s lots of injuries because he prioritizes aesthetics over safety in his factories”, not like “he’s a full blown nazi”.
Back then you could convince yourself the end justifies the means, but one could no longer justify that stance after his Twitter addiction fully took hold. Which was around the time he called that cave diver a pedo.
I have no respect for anyone who drives a Tesla at this point. I would have sold mine already on principle, if I had one, no matter how old it was.
I see that, but resale values have probably tanked, and not everyone has the disposable income to just switch cars whenever they want.
What is supposed to be done with the cars that already exist? Tossing them in the junkyard or destroying them won’t make anything better. They can still be used for their purpose.
But don’t buy a new one.
I guess the nazis and nazi sympathisers can have them. Which is how I view anyone who’s still driving one.
Honestly I feel sorry for anybody driving an older Tesla. I remember maybe 8, 9 years ago i had a long talk with some guy who owned the first (?) model, and I have to admit we shared the enthusiasm. Wasn’t many E-cars on that level back then.
I didn’t follow Musk in the media and I missed the Thai cave rescue & pedo calling disaster, so it took me a few months longer to start to realize what sort of person he really is. When exactly? Must’ve been before he bought Twitter. Sometime during Trump1.0.
And then it all came in like a retroactive flood. How he stole Tesla from the people who really started it, how delusional all his space projects are, how deeply corrupt/entwined he’s always been with the government…
But I don’t like those stickers, no matter how old the Tesla is.
Tesla is not the only option anymore.
If you’re serious you sell it. I know you can get other e-cars relatively cheaply nowadays, much cheaper than a new Tesla. So, what would the resell value be on any Tesla?
I remember maybe 8, 9 years ago
They’ll be fine if they had the cash to cough up for an EV then.
Unfortunate for them, but I don’t feel sorry. This is the reality of capitalism. The means of the production are not democratically controlled, it just so happened that Elon is particularly stupid.
I don’t get the “just sell it” crowd. Your solution is playing hot potato with a car. Like someone is still getting that car. Unless you manage to sell it to Tesla themselves I guess, but it’s my understanding that they only take them on trade-in.
So the choices you’re proposing are: Sell a car so it’s now Someone Else’s Problem, which isn’t a great look for you. Or scrap a perfectly usable car creating a bunch of waste, which isn’t a great look for you.
Just let people have their old cars, geez.
Each used car available potentially cannibalizes the sale of a new one.
Sure, absolutely, but then people shame people for having a used one too so it’s just hot potato.
Eventually every Tesla will be owned by some right-wing POS and the shame will be deserved.
Then ideally, that means no more new ones sold. Problem solved!
