The disapproval of Elon Musk is the top reason Tesla Model 3 owners are selling their electric vehicles and going for another brand, according to a new survey of 5,000 Model 3 owners.

    I love my Tesla, but I don’t think my next car will be one because of Musk and what he’s done to the brand. Really disappointing that he’s put the same people who’ve coal rolled and iced chargers instead of his loyal, reservation making, early adopting FSD clients like me. I’m watching the expanding market with excitement as other companies are rolling out vehicles with nicer features and comparable pricetags than current Teslas.

      This is as close as it comes to my opinion on the subject.

      I have an S. 7 years, 80k miles. I like the car, I really do. Even after all this time. I still get free supercharging, which is great when I travel out of the area, which I do not infrequently.

      I’m not embarrassed by it, despite Elon’s dive into Coco Puffs Crazyland. When I got it, there was nothing else like it on the market.

      Selling it now would be like buying a case of Bud just so I could shoot at it. Or burning my Nikes out of spite. I paid good money and it was worth every cent.

      With that being said, between Elon’s dementia and all the complaints I hear about build quality in the other mods, my next car, whenever I go buy it, won’t be a Tesla. There’s competition now and they are catching up fast…and I don’t think the Cybertruck is going to save them.
