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.

    My Tesla desire journey has gone from feeling like I was chasing a magical unicorn from the future to not wanting to go anywhere near it. I am planning on buying a new car in the next couple of years and I’d love it to be an EV with good range and short charging times but I don’t think it will be a Tesla now.

      Same thing with Twitter. I went from seeing a linked/embedded tweet and clicking it to really having a bit of a crisis in the form of: “do I really need to click on that or can I do literally anything else to get the same information?” (e.g. how I saw facebook/instagram links before)
