Plenty of other car companies have EVs now. Hell, when they enter the used market, I may pick up an EV F150.

I really hate Elon but Teslas are great cars. I drive one (purchased prior to Elon losing his damn mind publically) and I can't picture myself driving anything else unless Apple makes a car. It's like going from a flip phone to a modern phone. There's competition out there now for sure, thank god - but compare the user interface and charging network, not to mention their other products like power walls, and it's night and day.
There are rumors of Elon getting ousted from Tesla and I would love to see that happen because there's obviously an Elon-fan-by-association thing going on and that really sucks.

Amen. Fuck Tesla owners for doing something decent for the environment.
I often legitimately wonder what the planned obsolescence for Tesla cars are? How much oil went into the manufacturing and transportation of materials for the creation of Tesla cars? Additionallly, how much oil is saved by repairing an old car with good gas mileage?
This is all not to mention the many cyclists/pedestrians who in their sheer choice of mode of transportation contribute far less emissions than the Tesla driver.
Do the sums for a petrol car and then do the for any EV. Spoilers EV is always lower. And a EV only gets cleaner but an Ice still burns oil in some fashion for the rest of its life and burns it worse. I swear Americans are quite possibly the worst and most tribalistic people on lemmy
