      And weren’t dangerous/death traps for no good reason. And had good service practices, and weren’t anti-resale.

        There was time I was thinking too buy Tesla and willing to look past that in name of advancing EVs. That until I realized who he was (the thing in Thailand raised my eyebrow, then the covid, but my breaking point was when he sabotaged Ukraine’s offensive). Now that finally seeing who he is made me wonder what I was thinking overlooking those things.

        Fortunately I never pulled the trigger so I never owned any model. I still plan to have my next car and EV, but it definitely won’t be Tesla.
