    The irony is that it might then be a car with the potential to piss off two groups - the group that thinks the sticker is not really enough (and I’m sure they exist), and those that are pissed that someone shows they don’t show enough support for fElon and by proxy, the magats.

    Not that I have any answers. I’m just glad I’m not in a similar predicament. I was definitely eyeing Teslas before I knew what a fascist fElon is. Could have happened to nearly anyone, it seems.

      We got ours just a week or two before seeing him for what he is. It sucks and we can’t afford to ditch the car.

      I really think the people that work at Tesla have done a great job making a very affordable car that works well. I can only imagine that the disgust I feel towards the asshat and to the association with this car pales in comparison to what the people who designed and built it feel. 120,000 people work for Tesla.

      I don’t see how, but it’d be better if we could separate the 13% shareholding asshat from the company rather than destroy it. It’s a shitty situation.

      edit: by ‘affordable’ I’m looking at total cost of owership, which was significantly less than a new Prius. Also, I’m in a snowbelt, used cars are a bad idea here. (can ya feel the defensiveness?, ug)

      I get why people don’t want to piss off some of the maga people. they do seem a bit snowflake-y and overly armed but at the same time not expressing yourself due to this fear is giving them more power than they deserve.
