CEO of Tesla and acting President-elect Musk is going on a neo-Nazi binge endorsing far right candidates instead of properly running the companies he's involved in such as Tesla.

In addition Tesla is considered one of the most unreliable car brands according to: https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-placed-bottom-consumer-reports-reliability-rankings/

Moreover Tesla has the highest fatal accident rates of all car brands according to: https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a62919131/tesla-has-highest-fatal-accident-rate-of-all-auto-brands-study/

Also there are privacy implications with using a car that could in theory spy on you: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/05/massive-trove-of-tesla-files-contains-thousands-of-safety-complaints/

Now that more competent and establish brands are making EVs there's no reason to buy a Tesla if you want an EV. I'm not here to recommend another brand, I'm just here to tell you that your next EV should be anything other than a Tesla.

Out of Spec Studios. Mostly youtube videos. They have a solid and consistent range testing methodology if range is a concern. But also deep technical understanding of more nuanced things like fast charging curves, battery management system quirks, which regions have good charging infra or not, and so on.

Kyle Conner with Out of Spec is the guy to pay attention to for all things EV. An actual expert with real passion. That and the rest of the good people he works with there.

About a year old, but: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5bzd_JTB_w

I also recommend his much more recent guest appearance on that same podcast, just a week or two ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ng-aK_oAsSY
