We’ve known for years that the owner is a lying, creepy, out of touch dipshit and that it’s a very flawed car and the company will cut costs to save money on safety items, every time.
Electric vehicles with drive assist are awesome and are the future, but there are alternatives, especially if you have money, which a lot of Tesla customers do. And they’re not particularly well built; how many of these do you think will be on the road 20 years from now? And now we’ve seen how Elaine runs their companies, why the hell would anybody put their trust in their products?
If you’ve bought a Tesla in the last five or so years, you’re a damn goober in my eyes. That’s my hot take, prepared for being called poor and other sodium, tear filled comments from fools whose opinions don’t matter. You are the hardcore, foaming at the mouth Segway fan from the 2000s, have at me lol.
Update: The teary eyed, sweaty fingered responses to this are predictably hilarious. I’ve been called a guy that eats 4 pizzas a week in another old thread because of this, a cunt, a tool, a douche, a couple people spent their energy to tell me they don’t understand me spending my energy posting this, some people are telling me something about Tesla or Elaine living in my head rent free. All genuinely pathetic responses, so GG lol. Cheers.
EVs have their issues in an establishing industry but I don’t deny that climate change is real and to that carbon emissions have a lot to do with that.
And to that, focusing on the smallest possible end of the spectrum and dumping it on an end consumer is the most ludicrous proposition in existence.
We don’t get wood fired pizza, or gasoline, or natural gas, or fucking straws?(lol), or, or, or, but tanker ships and private jets get to cruise around with impunity?
Who do you think they’re buying those “carbon credits” from?
That same government pushing green bullshit is selling your freedom of choice to the highest bidder and removing it altogether from the individual.
That is a good point, however you call people climate lunatics without specifying above, which is lazy and strange to do on a platform like lemmy where you have a much higher wordcount for comments than Twitter for instance. I’m still convinced you dislike the idea of a clean, green environment for some reason though.
I’m not going to agree with the strange. The people that are pushing this are verifiable lunatics.
One cannot dislike the idea of a clean green environment, its the natural state of our planet, before cities were built. One can vehemently disagree with the mechanisms being employed that will have no discernible impact on “climate change” but will certainly ensure your grandchildren have no choices.
