Are people who bought Teslas, some probably for laudable climate ends, now disgusted to drive their car every day? Or are people still buying them and it’s not yet hit home where their dollars are going…or other? Are people selling them due to political reasons now?

    It’s a car, not a political statement. I’m driving it. It’s still a great vehicle.

    Would I buy one now? Probably not. But a lot of that is due to them making so many things extra cost.

    How many people know the politics of the CEOs of the other car companies before or after they purchase? Not many I suspect.

      That’s because most CEO’s aren’t outright buying media companies to push their political agenda. Musk is drawing a line in the sand and more or less asking everyone to take a side.

      That is just it, i shouldn’t know the political stance of a CEO\business owner, media personality or celebrity. As soon as they put their politics out they stand a good chance of losing ½ of their followers. Just my thoughts though.

      Sadly you’re in the minority in America, where people imagine they can be literally polluted by somebody’s else ideas.

      Apparently it’s something to do with the heritage of radical protestantism.
