Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car
-
Nobody at Tesla headquarters voted to alienate their customer base. No board meeting decided to turn their electric car company into a political lightning rod.
This is technically not true. The board keeps Elon Musk on as CEO of Tesla, and they granted him the biggest bonus package ever, while he was already very controversial and clearly was losing his mind, because they thought he would be able to make them money.
You are 100% correct. They knowingly doubled down on him. They can all ride his coattails straight to hell.

Since when does being right-wing make you a Nazi?
Nazi's are far-right to the extreme, Musk and Trump are Right-Wing. Nothing more. Disagreeing with them doesn't make them Nazi's and calling them Nazi's actually says more about that persons intolerance than they think it does.
Its not intolerance to refuse to support them. Being far right makes you a liar and bigot at the very least. I haven't seen one example of a decent human being who considers themselves far right.

its not the death of the electric car. Its the death of a bad one.
Teslas are actually pretty good from what I've seen.

Remember 2015? A Tesla parked in your driveway told your neighbours that you valued innovation, that you possessed an environmental conscience, that you had a stake in the future of the planet. The cars weren't perfect, but they meant something. They represented hope - for clean energy, EVs, and a world beyond fossil fuels.
This was me years go. I new climate change was real and an imminent threat. I wanted to vote with my wallet for a cleaner future. I also wanted to strike a blow against the National Automotive Dealers Association for their regressive practices that hurt consumers and drive prices for cars higher for everyone. Buying a Tesla did those things. I charge the car on sunlight from my house. I was proud to be doing something rather than just talking about needs for changes against climate change.
Musk doesn't get any of my money from this car. I don't pay for any of the Tesla monthly services. I'm don't want to be seen driving with a Tesla logo on the car. I'm ashamed that my good intentions funded a fascist.
It’s crystal clear to me that Tesla played an important role at a key time, and pivoted the industry. The technology to do so had been there for a while but they lacked the will and they needed an innovator to scare them into action. Tesla did that. However, that role is now complete. I am flabbergasted that anyone still values this stock. Even setting aside this recent downturn in sales due to their brand going necrotic, they were already overmatched by the flood of competition coming their way. If major manufacturers don’t eat Tesla’s lunch, Chinese upstarts will. They can’t survive. They won’t survive. Even their supposed software advantage on self-driving has turned out to be a fraud, and the Simpertruck is a high profile failure. I’m glad that the stock hasn’t died yet though, because the rest of the world is still completing the transition to EVs, and the death of Tesla might put a chill on that. But in a few years, yeah, Tesla will blow away on the wind like so much dust.

Everyone that isn't a Leftist gets slapped with the far-right label these days though. Especially by the British government where ANY anti-immigration sentiment or even patriotism is branded dangerous far-right.
The term gets thrown around while most people don't really understand it. That is what is dangerous.

Since when doing a Nazi-salute makes you not-a-nazi?

Trump hired him in the first place so I don't think he's going to get kicked out because of Trump's distaste. Trump doesn't care about people he only cares about himself and Elon is useful to him.
If he gets kicked out it'll be because he became a risk to Trump probably because he tried to take Trump on.
Trump has demenetia and is prone to undoing things he did, but blaming the initial thing he did that he now regrets on an outside party.

Actually, no. Tesla always had huge QA issues. Panels not fitting on the cyber truck really isn't the first time that stuff just doesn't quite fit on teslas

You're kidding, right? With your username being what it is, one might be tempted to think that you would know better than that...

We all saw the nazi salute, then we saw him do it a second time just to drive the point home.

Some people really like Section 31 and the Mirror Universe. And Ferenginar before it went all woke.

Have you ever stopped to think about why? Probably not otherwise you wouldn't be here acting like a butt hurt right-winger

Confusing title. How can a car be a Nazi?
In the same sense that the kubelwagen was a nazi car. Now that I think about it, the kubelwagen kinda has similar lines to the cybertruck.

My buddy messed up and spilled a drink in his model X. When pulling up the carpet and panels to clean up he found a bunch of blue painter’s tape where there were supposed to be wiring harnesses and screws. You’ll note that blue painters tape is designed to be temporary, and will not last more than a year or two.

My brother has a model 3. It's a nifty car. The advanced cruise control (not their FSD) is better than the Blue-Cruisr in my Ford, and works on more roads. Build quality seems about the same TBH, although my brother may just have a good example. The Tesla charging network is expansive, and would be a major point to the Model 3, but other cars can charge there now, even older models can do it with an adapter.
Ergonomics-wise, I think the Ford is much better. Better controls on the steering wheel, has a "gauge cluster" instead of putting important info on the center display away from the driver's line of sight, and it's easier to open the doors, both from the outside, inside, and in the case of emergencies.
The Ford doesn't randomly slam the brakes on the highway, so I’d call that a plus. Look up “phantom braking”.
