Elon couldn't pay me to buy a Tesla. I like EVs. It's not about the technology. It's entirely about Elon. I'd rather buy Japanese or South Korean, thank you.

    I'd rather buy a Chinese one, but mr Biden made that impossible.

    mr Biden made that impossible.

    Wait, is he still President with a majority in the House of Reps and Senate since 2025?

    Thanks, Obama!

    Which Japanese EV? I'm not aware of any good ones.

    Korean ones? Best on the market. If you want the best for a reasonable price, Hyundai or Kia.

    Toyota sells a couple EV models in China for the China market not sure where thier overseas models are made....Toyota has the second biggest selling EV in Norway for example and have that model here in Australia, its actually ok, the previous version was comparatively shitty

    depends on the definition of paying. is he giving you discount, or is he paying more than the car's worth?

    if it is the latter, then i am fine keeping all the fucker's money and set the free teslas on fire.

    Well let’s not be too hasty here…

    I really despise most everything about him but if Elon were to actually pay me and give me a free car I’d very likely take it. I mean I have principles but I’m not an idiot.

    Yeah, you are. The fucking death traps with doors that won't open in a crash and unless you know where the secret escape hatch is you are cremated.

    Tesla just fucking lost a lawsuit about this.

    Get that free asbestos sweater while you're at it.

    I thought that was just the Cybertruck, which yes, I wouldn't drive even if someone gave me one. I'd flip it and buy something else.

    I think both the sedan and roadster are okay electric cars, and I think they have enough range I could use them to reduce the amount of gas I burn in my Volt for longer trips.

    But, I haven't really been paying attention to Tesla recently, and Elmu has certainly been looking horrible to me.
