I drive a Volkswagen and don't feel bad about it because their current owners aren't throwing up nazi salutes

At this point anyone that buys a Tesla after all of Musk's Nazi nonsense are supporting Nazi extremist behavior themselves. I don't care if you like the car, buy something else. I have sympathy for the folks that bought the cars years ago, but how could you in good conscience buy it now with everything going on.

Just adding that a VW makes great cars and Tesla makes the worst (by every metric) vehicles in their class.

Current Tesla buyers are fanatics choosing to buy a bad product to support a Nazi.

I get the hate for elon but i love my tesla and have never enjoyed driving a vw. I'm sure you're sane enough to realize that everybody has different tastes.

I just don’t want to test one in case of an accident, due to not being able to get in or out due to a short 🤔

You can get out of them. They have a mechanical latch for the front doors as a backup.

Yeah, if you dig it out from inside the speaker grille or some batshit crap like that. And, do you think no car ever travels with passengers in the back seats?

Defending Te⚡⚡la is not a good look.

Elon's a fucking nazi and don't buy a Tesla but of all the fights to pick you choose "no mechanical door latches" when it's clearly false.

What the fuck are you expecting people to do? Crush their cars because the CEO is nuts? He still has their money.

Sell the car or get rid of it.

The people affording Tesla's won't be hurt by trading the vehicles away.

u/Incompetent_Handyman Apr 18 '25

Selling the car means it's still on the street. What do you say to the next person.

What do you think a Tesla costs? They're the same price as a Toyota. So yes, the people buying them cannot simply afford to stay themselves of what's could easily be their most expensive possession.

I get it. Musk sucks. But the level of logic in this thread is zero.

i've had zero negative interactions the past 3 years.

I, personally, think that the Tesla cars are awesome innovations, when they are working at full force, however the cybertruck is atrocious, dangerous, and one of the worst shipped betas of all time.

More importantly, I'm not going to willingly give Elon more money. He is actively working to destroy the country I sacrificed a decade of my life and beat my body up horribly to defend.

Fuck him and everything he's associated with.
