Would you still buy a Tesla?

[PurpleTree]

I wouldn’t. The Elon can go to hell. 
 

A while ago i quite liked Tesla.
 

I don’t really need a car.

But if i do/did i would probably go for Japanese, European or Korean.

I’ve experienced driving Teslas and from that experience I could tell you there was some of the best cars ever manufactured.

The engineering intelligence that went into this car is obvious when you drive one.

That being said it doesn’t matter which company you’re buying a car from. It’s all part of the same inequality capitalist corporative black hole.

You’re a consumer consuming in the end.

Just make a good financial decisions and investments instead, and focus on yourself. Instead of pretending to be a social justice warrior.

No for me i’d never want to support Elon. He’s attacking democracy in Europe and elsewhere.

Elon is in the public eye, all the other car manufacturers are not. But they're just as evil?

No he’s a lunatic. Most other car manufacturers are just capitalists and businesses.

No, he supports political parties in a democratic process hoping that Europe goes in a better direction.

You yourself said in another topic that mass immigration was correlated with crimes.

Yea i do think that immigration has to be changed for many European countries. But the AFD is not only anti immigration. They are also anti EU pro Russia many other horrible things and hypocrites.

It’s a great car. I would basically buy a worse car (less range etc.) to not support Elon is what I’m trying to say.

Norway loooves Tesla. I wonder how they react to all this. Probably they can’t wean themselves off Tesla.

 

countless videos.

I just don’t believe an individual activism like this.

It’s fine to be vocal about disliking a public figure and warning everyone about it, but it’s another thing to alter your lifestyle for some greater good.

Life is very challenging and you should be doing everything you can to succeed and not over focus on an idealistic agenda.

Most people make minimum wage and live paycheque to paycheque barely surviving, if you wanna make a difference, get extremely rich and then funnel that money into something useful for society. 

[integral]

If Elon decides to make a house tomorrow, that’s 90% cheaper than all other houses and 90% better, you would be a fool not to buy it.

individual activism pretends that it’s just not part of the selfish bubble of society.

Nestlé is one of the worst companies in society and likely you buy its products every single day.

Consuming is not avoidable and trying to avoid it would be a massive waste of time when you could be doing other things to benefit yourself your family or the greater good.

Do people have opinions or are there higher and lower perspectives?

If so then yours is imo lower but it’s ok.

@PurpleTree you know how people buy things emotionally? You are "not buying something" emotionally. And then calling it activism.

Instead do real work.

Many people bought Tesla for status. So people will also not buy Tesla for status. 

[integral]

It's pretty crazy activists have been pushing for the elimination of fossil fuels and clean air and clean energy. and now that it has been achieved we are boycotting the company that started it all.

Can you guys get your priorities straight?

Electric cars wouldn't exist if Elon wasn't around we would still only have fossil fuel vehicles.

Where did i call it activism? If you buy something you decide who you support. If a restaurant owner is a huge as* then you probably don’t go there to spend your money.

Teslas are the worst cars in existence. Purely for safety reasons. Hundreds of them have caught fire. Multiple times people have died because they were trapped inside the car while it was on fire because the electric door handle would not open. What a terrible design flaw. They give off the highest amount of EMF radiation that is detrimental to the body. They have the most biometrics of any car. They constantly scan your heart and brain waves and sell it to big data.  They are a giant cancer causing monstrosities.

I feel like I have been duped. Elon to me sold a fake version of himself years ago and now his true colors/consciousness are showing. 

So no I'd rather support another manufacturer if I were in the market for an electric/hybrid vehicle.

Electric cars actually go back pretty far around the same time as gasoline vehicles:

Quote

 

The first crude electric carriage was invented in the 1830s by Scottish inventor Robert Anderson. However, the first practical electric vehicle was created in 1859 by French physicist Gaston Planté, who developed the lead-acid battery, making electric vehicles more viable.

The late 1800s were actually a golden age for electric vehicles. In 1884, English inventor Thomas Parker built what is considered the first production electric car. By 1900, electric cars were at their peak of popularity in the United States, accounting for around a third of all vehicles on the road. They were especially popular in urban areas because they were quiet, easy to drive, and didn't produce exhaust fumes like their gasoline counterparts.

The decline of electric vehicles began in the 1920s due to several factors:

The discovery of large petroleum reserves, making gasoline more affordable

The invention of the electric starter, which made gas cars easier to start

Henry Ford's mass production of the Model T, which made gasoline cars much cheaper than electric ones
