A bumper sticker is such a token attempt to absolve yourself from responsibilities and embarrassment

I still have sympathy for people who bought in years ago and thought they were doing something good. Not everyone is financially stable enough to get rid of a big investment like that. Buying an EV was different 10 years ago.

That said, anyone with a Cyberstuck or a newer model with the T E S L A spelled out on the back has zero excuse.

lol I couldn’t imagine having a $30k electric mistake sitting in my driveway, mocking me with Elon vibes. Yikes.

The first time I remember Elon really letting the mask slip was the Thai cave rescue in 2018. After his jury-rigged submarine failed, he publicly called one of the actual rescuers a pedophile simply for pointing out that the project looked more like a PR stunt than a rescue plan. Looking back, it's easy to see the warning signs, but at the time it's understandable why many people were still ambivalent about him.

I wonder how many of these people who believe that Tesla owners who bought their car long before Elon showed his true colors own a Ford. Do they know what kind of person Henry Ford was and the writings he published? How many own Volkswagens?

In my view, the Tesla and Elon hate are justified because of, well, everything that's come to light over the past few yars. But all this clamoring that people who still own a Tesla they bought 7+ years ago should have gotten rid of their car is just virtue signaling. If their convictions about this are so strong, then they ought to apply the same logic to any Ford bought after 1920, or any Volkswagen at all.
