Not everyone is the position to sell their car, especially at huge finacial loss. So they buy the stupid sticker to make them selves feel a little better.
Many bought the thing 5+ years ago when Tesla was basically the only electric with a real charging network and in a time before Musk went from eccentric billionaire to an out-of-the-closet Nazi.
Now anyone buying one new today, that's a different story (Which makes it harder to sell the damn thing).
Why the fuck are you defending this shit?
Also I am tired of hearing about how Musk only recently went insane, dude has been off the rails for as long as I can remember.
Eccentric billionaire? My ass dude, he was an asshole and insane always for anyone paying at least a little bit of attention.
It just finally caught up to him and now everyone wants to cry wolf that has been supporting him? Fuck off.
With as strong and emotional you seem to feel about this topic, I sincerely hope you have never used an iPhone, used Facebook, bought a product off Amazon, taken an Uber ride, or consumed any Nestle products.
If you've eaten a single hot pocket, you have no ground to stand on here.
I love that comic, but it's unfortunately not applicable to this conversation. If anything, it's more applicable in response to @MellowYellow13.
This person is clearly being overly reactive to the situation and isn't listening to reason. By all means, don't buy a Tesla in the year of our lord 2025, but if you bought one in like 2019, that's kind of irrelevant. Those people shouldn't be punished for what they saw as an innocuous purchase at the time. To tell people they just straight up need to sell their car is asinine.
I'm not saying "omg you participate in society, you're just as bad", moreso pointing out how absolutely ridiculous @MellowYellow13 's platform here is. Things that have already been done are irrelevant, let's look to the future to improve things, no? If you've bought a Tesla in the past, it does not matter, just as if you've bought an iPhone, used Facebook, etc.
You completely missed my message.
