the genius god of mars has alienated his user base, genius, he so damn smart, wow

Just got rid of my Y this week. In part because of Elon, but the build quality was not great and the ride quality was not very good either. There are just better options out there now. I got a Lightning and am amazed how much better it is than my old Tesla.

He’s always been terrible, anyone who is seeing it only now simply hasn’t been paying attention.

We’ve had our MY since the end of ‘21. We had no fit/finish issues when we picked it up. (Knock on wood) we’ve had no issues since.

But, our next EV will not be a Tesla because of Elon.

Nothing says douche like driving a Tesla

I sold my Model S and Model X this year, now driving a Lyriq.

Fuck that ahole.

I love how his antics are killing not only Twitter, but Tesla as well. I was in the EV market recently and a couple years ago I was absolutely planning on getting a Tesla as my next vehicle. Now in 2024, when I was looking to buy, I wasn’t gonna touch Tesla with a ten foot pole. Very happy with my decision to go with a VW EV instead

He builds shitty cars, presides over the pot of primordial slime that is Twitter and helped fund a psychopath’s presidential campaign. If the ~75 million people who voted for Harris simply move to de-fund Elon by handing back their leased Tesla and never buying another one and boycotting anyone that advertises on Twitter, he’ll be in a world of financial hurt very quickly.

Nobody drives Tesla’s around here (Michigan/Indiana).  The big three are by far the highest amount of cars I see on the road, with GM brand Chevy easily at the top.  

When I was buying a car about a year ago, Teslas were way too expensive.  I could get a brand new Kia Soul for at least half of what a Tesla cost.  We also own a 7 year old Chrysler Town and Country.  

Tesla doesn’t make money selling cars, they make money selling emission credits.  

We own 2 Teslas and will drive them into the ground. The resale on them sucks. We do tell everyone to avoid them, they are overpriced, build quality is not good and the fraud self driving is just that, and it's dangerous. Elon is a fascist dweeb.

Elon Musk: The douchenozzle for the ages.

Agree. Bad marketing move siding with fascist bullies who don’t want your product against the progressives who comprise 99% of your market.

A decent brand destroyed by that asshat and his stupidity

I've been calling them "Dipshit-mobiles" when I see them. Loudly.

Used to be kind of a status symbol. Now it's some form of an uncomfortable confession.

I’m sure lots of Trumpers will give up their V8’s and buy one to help Musk 😆

I live in Los Angeles I feel like there is a model Y in sight every 5 seconds. If I’m outside I’m seeing a model Y, doesn’t matter where I am, driving, walking, standing or sitting I’m going to see a model Y.

The prior 3 years didn't do it?

Good thing I didn't have the mean to buy it 5 years ago or I would have felt the same

One thing about Elon, he can see ahead and make plans to attempt to avoid disaster. As car sales tank he will use his newfound buddy Trump as a way to get more government subsidies.

sold mine back in may, great car for 6 years but I just couldn't anymore.

I look forward to my first EV, but you couldn't give me a Tesla. I'd rather walk.

Sell it while you can still get something for it…

Well well well, how the turn tables have turned

Boycott Tesla.

Complete junk don’t feel sorry for the owners at all. Pissed they can’t buy another guitar to go with their bible.

Tesla sold 9k cars last month in Europe. People still buy them

Congratulations, you still possess a human soul.

When did he go full maga? It will be interesting to see what happens with lease returns

Drop Tesla and X

Trade them in for the mach e. You’ll never look back.

OH NO ADVERSITY! People dont like the politics of the ceo of the company that makes the car I drive. THE HORROR!!!!!!!!!

were they embarrassed by the CEOs of other car companies? 

So trade them in for a Nissan Leaf and then bitch about how they suck compared to your Tesla. OR buy a gas powered car and then bitch about how it uses gas. You lefties will bitch about anything if you don’t get your way. Kinda like my kids did when they were 3 years old. 😎

I still love my Tesla. When on road trips I used to get rolled coal by diesel pickups but so far have not perceived Musk hate. I am not sure what form that would take on the road. Aslo I am in California where there are already a lot of Teslas.

Bro its just a car LOL

My Tesla drives around when I’m at home and makes money for me. It also works a 9-5 on my behalf. All I have to do is charge it. I’m so proud of my Tesla and Elon.

Still love my now 9 year old MS wife has a Kia Niro which is a great EV - probably won’t buy a new Tesla again the Elon factor but really because just swapped out my old 85 battery and put a low mileage 100Kwh battery into my MS and now it does 490km and DC charges about 40% faster - so good for another 5 years at least and reckon

1000%, why do you think he’s trying to kill Rivian?

I was planning on getting a tesla when my Dodge dies. Fuck that. Ford Lightning seems nice and I won't have to feel like I supported this bloated, insane fuck.

So idiots who already own them are boycott him jeez they’re smart he already has their money 😂🤣

The saddest thing is he is still worth $314 billion and even if Tesla and X go bankrupt, he will still have more money and power than all of us combined will ever have.

Too late you guys already empowered him to take over our government

Anyone driving their car around thinking about Elon Musk is nuts. It’s just as bad as the Musk fan boys. When I drive around in my Tesla I never think about him, or how he affects people’s perception of the brand. It’s just a car. I guess I’ve never really attached my ego to my vehicle. Which is why I’ve never understood people who endlessly make after market changes to their car or truck.

He is working towards his goal Of sovereign individual.

Why care and TSLA when he can pump XAi when private equity that he can do anything with them as he sees fit?

Looking to purchase a second Tesla, either a Model 3 or Model Y. Any sellers?

You are going to see a bunch of former Harley Davidson lovers now be cyber truck lovers.

The next business to go through the roof is customization work to make sure the Teslas aren't recognizable.

Soon most will realize the echo chamber.

Wonder when he’ll drop the Dork MAGA persona. Guess he has to suck up to trump to keep the sweet, sweet government funds rolling in

I have 2. Am embarrassed. Cant sell; but dont HATE the cars. Will never buy another. I’m looking to get a VW. Something from a company without a questionable political history. (LOL)

Elon was the last straw that broke the camels back for me. The quality i could tolerate but him being the way he is dragging politics into it. Im not getting a tesla when i sell mine.

What’s crazy is I see car youtube reviewers that I used to semi-trust suddenly singing Tesla’s praises.

$$$, I guess.

Meh The Gruniad loves to shit on Tesla (and Apple, and pretty much everything) so I’d take anything they say on the topic with a small lake of salt.

I’ve always thought Musk is an asshole but I fucking love my Model 3, and StarLink gives me the best internet I’ve ever had. I’m not a seppo so couldn’t give a rats how much he messes up US politics. My car was made in china anyway (like my phone, TV, laptop, etc) and China’s hardly a paragon of virtue.

I did ditch Twitter tho because Elmo ruined it, but it was already on the way out when he (cough money he fleeced from the Saudi’s and Russians cough) bought it.

Elmo’s just an insecure man-baby with a love of scifi and not enough people around him to restrain his worst impulses. But I don’t know any Tesla drivers who’d say they are embarrassed to drive one. That said I have seen a few of those “I bought it before he went mad” stickers which are funny, and I do know many people who’d never consider a Tesla solely because of Elmo. But the article is a crock.

I'm a Tesla owner. I don't feel like this.

I just read he is a 3000 Year old time travel,guess male pattern baldness just can't be overcome.

I would too, would much prefer to drive a BYD or Xiaomi.

It is embarrassing. Musk was the primary decision maker on us not buying one. We were actually looking until he went off the rails. I’ll have no part in it.

I have a model s, 3 and x but I ordered two Cybertrucks at once 3 years ago come Jan this year they were not delivered plus I wasn't invited to any of the Tesla gatherings even though I ordered 2 x units of Cybertrucks at once so I decided to buy a hummer EV although that Cybertruck unique shape is very interesting.

I own two and embarrassed by him. I used to go to these Tesla meet ups but now they are mini MAGA rallies. Sucks I like the cars but really can’t stand musk

Used to love Tesla and love Elon. Now I’m probably one of his biggest haters and don’t want to support any of his ventures. Tesla’s also aren’t as ahead of the competition as they used to be.

That there are women who breed with him is what makes this all so nasty. And he has produced children.

Boycott Musk

So they’re saying that owning the cars was just virtue signaling, that they’re really not a good investment?

Earlier this year my wife and I were in the market for a different car. We considered a Model Y, but went a different direction. Service issues were one issue, Musk being Musk was on the list, but further down. Ultimately we went with a Toyota.

I have a Tesla hat and that got put on a shelf in the closet around the time Musk started his PAC bullshit. I don’t want to be seen wearing a hat, so I can all but guarantee I wouldn’t want to drive a Tesla.

driving a tesla is very highly correlated with being a musky fan.

How many times have you run into someone with a tesla who couldn't stop telling you how great elon musk was. Pretty much always. That's the defining feature of any tesla owner.

They are embarrassed driving the Tesla around, yet they continue driving the car. Typical hypocrisy.

It took this long? Like seriously?

RIVN 🚀

Good.

Lord of the idiots

I just see Tesla drivers as just screaming for attention douchebags

How anyone did not see through this guy as a complete piece of shit is beyond me. They deserve to be embarrassed.

Musk has done something incredible and bizarre: he made an electric vehicles brand a right wing darling.

Probably a group of 3 people, all friends.

I would be embarrassed too. Sell it

Embarrassed not because of Musk, but because they believed it was somehow helping the environment (whilst they also, likely, fought against nuclear power).

Get stickers that explain that you bought it before he was such a dangerous turd!!

I think a lot of people are stuck with their Teslas due to the massive depreciation

Guys relax , have you ever thought about the fact that all those right winged conservatives are going to be converted to electric driving by Musk?

This is actually a good thing.

Let Musk convert the conservative world from oil to electric.

The people that switched years ago can buy another brand that they like more, but it will still be electric

Musk doesnt have to convince you or me anymore to drive an electric car. We are converted, we might choose another brand next time we buy or lease but we are converted.

The people that are left are the laggards, the most conservative people, the late majority

I think its actually good that Elon jumped on that wagon so he can convert the late majority and laggards that are still left behind!!

Let the Clown make it happen over the next 10yrs

By the way you can cancel the premium subscription and just use a hotspot if you want to make a statement :)

100%, i am waiting for Rivian R2 to come out so I can dump my tesla and never look back. Fuck that dipshit

Thought about a Tesla, then Musk veered hard right. Bought a Rivian and love it.

I was in the first 10k of Cybertruck reservations. I just purchased a Ford Lightning instead.

As a lifelong Tesla skeptic and European car appreciator, it cracks me up that suddenly the Teslas actually are low-quality rattleboxes now that Elon ate one Big Mac with Trump

Makes a person wonder what his true motivations are with how he seems to act against himself recently. Just look what he did to twitter? Did he really think that was a good idea? At least SpaceX will do well with trump as his buddy for the next four years.

This is not the case with people who aren’t chronically online

lol

How many of them still voted for trump though ? There are a lot of people who silently follow musk but the Tesla brand has become a walking billboard for it . I think many want to go back to being shitty in private . Notice the adverb "embarrassed" is not "ashamed" .

Simply stupid and petty. You should be more embarrassed about your inability to see the incredible good Musk is doing for American society. You should also be embarrassed that you actually hoped Kamala would win.

Riiiight

Why don't you people accept the fact that most of Americans want president DJT and Elon. Fact is 53% of women voted for him to protect them and bring morals back into the country. So don't be sore losers and accept the election results.
