    Honestly… I would never buy one, but if this is how the right wants to “own the libs”. I’m kind of okay with MAGA buying Teslas. It will improve the electric charging infrastructure and reduce greenhouses gases.

      Same. The safety record for teslas also boosts my position on this.

        When the panels fly off, it’s other cars that will get hit.

          That is not the safety issue I am referring to.

      Imagine if Musk went Nazi just to get conservatives to buy electric cars, and deep down he’s a good guy just trying to fight climate change…

      … I need to stop sniffing glue.

    Why not both? If you’re a true republican living the american dream you’ll have no issue owning both and risk bankrupting yourself for the overlords. 🤏🧠

    If the point is to own the libs by destroying the planet, then either button will do.

    Judging by the recent performance of Tesla stock, I don’t think this is the difficult decision the meme would suggest that it is.

    Buy a Tesla and then die in a cyber truck fire would be my preferred option for them

    How about buying a Tesla and replacing the electric engine with a thermal one?

    They buy a Tesla to own the libs, and then mod it to “roll coal” to own the libs again.

    Easy. They will vocally support Tesla but, in practice, will continue using their gas and diesel. Not like many red states can afford a Tesla anyhow.

    Buy a cybertronk. Buy a big diesel generator. Ratchet strap diesel generator onto back of cybertronk. Fill generator with diesel and use generator to charge tronk. They can have it all.

      Diesel is actually better for the environment than gas, so we need to figure out a way to offset that. Have the diesel generators roll coal? That oughta do it

        Tronks gotta roll coal. There is no other way.

    The solution seems obvious, drive a Tesla but only use diesel generators to charge them.
