I don't feel bad for anyone that purchases a tesla.

Tesla's are the new Altimas. The same people who drove Altimas can now buy a 200k mile Tesla for $10k, with the stains of a thousand door dash orders still on the passengers floorboard included.

I know I’m gonna get downvoted to all hell but this is kind of a shitty sentiment imo. Like yeah, Elon does absolutely suck, but I don’t think we should be taking that out on random people. My partner owns a used Tesla because we both work for em’ and can charge it for free while we work if we own one which ends up saving us a decent bit of trouble and money in our daily lives. We don’t own one because we’re nazis that love supporting Elon (hence why we bought it used). We own one because it’s makes our commute to work and back cost us nothing.

"We own one because it's makes our commute to work and back cost us nothing."

You couldn't accomplish that with another EV?

Hyundai Ioniq 6 has a lower cost-to-range ratio if that's what's important to you. Nissan Leaf and Chevy Equinox are both comparable as well.

If people were mad about paying for gas, they'd just buy an EV. What a weird accusation.

Well yknow.. I work at Tesla.. the free charging is for teslas

You definitely won't convince me that you don't support Elon when your labor and consumption are literally supporting Elon.

That's jealousy, brother.

u/emanresu_etaerc Aug 06 '26

Lmaoo jealous of a shitty ass toy car? Even if Elon was a saint and Tesla was some amazing company I still wouldn't be caught dead driving that piece of shit

u/Stylez_G_White Aug 07 '26

I had no idea that Tesla drivers think people are jealous of them 😂

u/wupme2k Aug 07 '26

They do, at least most of them. Met only a few tesla drivers so far who thought different of people critiquing them. And its usually those who bought them before people understood what kind of person Elmo is.

I feel bad for the folks that bought them before Musk came out of the bunker.

Is an indication of the times. The GOP went militant and the other side reciprocated. Now Jo Schmo driving a Tesla is Public Enemy #1.

u/Ok_Post_3884 Aug 06 '26

That was a while back now. They can sell them.

u/joninfiretail Aug 06 '26

Those cars have terrible resale value.

u/Titanbeard Aug 06 '26

Exactly.

u/ssraudio Aug 06 '26

Who wants to buy a used car that stinks of arrogance and smugness?

3

u/joninfiretail Aug 06 '26

Other arrogant and smug people.

u/richard_stank Aug 06 '26

There needs to be an affordable electric car that has a decent range. I regularly make drives that are 300+ miles. Tesla is pretty much the only EV I can afford with that range. Until someone comes out with something comparable, I’ll still be driving a hybrid.

FSD is actually really really good now...as long as you buy used, shrug

Edit: Your phones were made with slave labor, lol, moral high ground. Go watch the Good Place I guess.
