According to a recent survey, Tesla's reputation is plunging, which could be due to Musk's off-putting and problematic behavior.

“Whether you hate me, like me or are indifferent, do you want the best car, or do you not want the best car?” [Apartheid Manchild] told audiences at an event in November.

Well, for starters I don’t want a car at all. I’d rather use public transit. You know, an actually effective means of reducing emissions.

If I were in the market, yes, I would want the best car. Which is why I’d never buy a Tesla. I’d buy an XPeng or a BYD or the like.

    I’m a person that would 100% buy a Tesla if it wasn’t for him.

      Politics aside, if Musk wasn’t in charge of Tesla, Tesla would make better cars.

          I’m not sure why you put the big rig in the same loony bin as cybertruck. We need to get diesel out of that industry as well, and Tesla Semi seems to be the most advanced contender and has had great reviews from pilot customers

          And even if they did decide to make a useless truck, it probably wouldn’t have five recalls in the first year.

      I wanted a Tesla so badly until… well, Musk went crazy, and also very importantly they DON’T HAVE VEHICLE TO LOAD, which is insanely important to me.
