Remember when he removed the Disney+ app from Teslas because he was angry over twitter ads? That kind of unreliable behaviour might have something to do with it.
I had no idea he did that but I’m also not surprised. That’s so funny.
Didn’t someone have a picture of a Tesla in the wild with a bumper sticker that read something like: “I bought this before I knew Elon was a complete idiot.”
I’ve seen that sticker in person, multiple times.
Also seen a few Teslas that were completely debranded.
I don’t think this is having a meaningful effect. Tesla’a biggest marketplace is China, and I doubt they care about American politics. It is more likely that China is discouraging people from buying Teslas due to American threats to ban Tiktok.
I am avoiding Tesla because their design philosophy and decisions are gimmicky and don’t not prioritize functionality.
If I am going to spend big money on a car I am going with quality. Not some gimmicky pos where you can’t even open the doors if the battery cuts out. I’ll pass on the touchscreen with wheels.

There is a mechanical lever that you can use if the power is out. Probably it was required by regulators, but it’s there.
I’m sure that wasn’t the deciding factor anyway.
Like I’m going to find that lever when I’m drunk and sinking into a pond
Why would you drive drunk?
Always loved and wanted to support electric cars. But my first will never be a Tesla.
His vehicles aren’t even safe for other Dragons to ride on. Why would I buy from a company who unironically had the below answer for me when I googled from the back seat of one of their cars while Ubering and thought of that news:
Opening a Rear Door with No Power
Not all Model Y vehicles are equipped with a manual release for the rear doors. Remove the mat from the bottom of the rear door pocket. Press the red tab to remove the access door. Pull the mechanical release cable forward.
Emphasis mine. Still don’t know which kind I was on, but an emergency would have not been the ideal ‘find out’ time. I’ll avoid that by not fucking around with purchasing their cars.
Don’t fix the typo, I’m enjoying the mystery.
Oooh, other billionaires, cause that one billionaire lady died.
I see a lot of anti-musk sentiment but didn’t really know why. What happened to piss everyone off? My guess is some autistic ranting on Twitter but that didn’t seem enough
