    Some people think the climate is our biggest priority

    And some people think your political compass score is our biggest priority.

    This kind of dissonance is what makes me laugh at the silliness of it all lol

      Where is the dissonance? These people are not in mutually exclusive groups. You can be environmentally conscious to get an EV and yet morally conscious to tell Elmo to fuck off and buy an EV other than Tesla.

      It’s laughable in 2023 to think EV = Tesla.

      Eh, there’s plenty of alternatives to Tesla nowadays, many of which are even considered superior. So, you can still have climate be your biggest priority while also choosing not to support a piece of shit.

      If you think Tesla is there to “save the environment / planet” then I have a cure to selll you for the common cold that works in 7 to 14 days.

      Electric cars are part of the solution but manufacturers are not in it for the benefit of the environment, they just want to continue selling cars.

      EVs are to save the car industry and its control on us, not the environment.
