Electric Vehicles

I initially put down a deposit on a Cybertruck at announcement, figured I might use it for camping.

Decided against it because it didn't meet my quality and feature requirements at release.

Had one drive across in front of me in a hardware store parking lot with a big Trump sticker in the window, suggesting he was riding along.

So glad I never had one. Just no.

It's a very different experience than seeing just any old car with a political bumper sticker on it. It's not like it's a big deal if somebody else with a Carola or Blazer happens to have differing political views.

The pro-Tesla group were primarily very environmentally savvy and mostly liberal for the longest time. Then it suddenly shifted into some really nasty cult BS.

On the flip side, there are still a lot of model 3s and Ss and Ys in the area, and I don't think I've ever even seen a sticker on one of those cars, and I've never known their owners to be crazy Elon cult jerks (I'm sure some are, just my experience here).

I wouldn't buy one now, but they used to just seem like cool and more sustainable cars.

It's a real share Elon had to ruin that.

My hope is that he is removed from the equation and the company can shake off the cult and get back to doing well as a smaller clean car manufacturer.
