    A lot of regular Tesla owners genuinely didn’t know a ton about the company and until the last few years Musk wasn’t quite so openly a Nazi.

    I have zero sympathy for Cybertruck owners but I am going to wait to reserve judgement on average Tesla owners until I have proof it was bought recently and that they are okay with Musk as he is.

    The reality is some people can’t just up and trade in the car as easily as they might want to, even if they hate Musk and all he stands for now.

      I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, except that we should be doing everything possible to drive down their value. The less value they have the less Tesla is worth. Ideally people sell their Teslas used, driving the used cost down, making anyone looking to buy one still consider that instead of giving money to the company. We can have people who still support Tesla not giving money to them potentially.

      People with ordinary Teslas might have bought them before Musk was a total ass. And apart from some dumb ideas like steering yokes and poor emergency releases and build quality they’re not that bad.

      The Cybertruck is objectively bad and deserves ridicule regardless of what Lengthy Nutria does.

      I have a Tesla (2017). Had no idea who this guy was at the time, I just liked the idea of an electric vehicle, and buying into a future without ICE. Cars been great, company not so much.

      Musk can go to hell though that’s for sure

      Model Y Juniper just started shipping this month. Its a glaring sign that says they bought it after everything Musk did.

        I wasn’t aware because I don’t follow Tesla but that’s really useful info because you’re damn right.
