Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Although I do believe Elon has been acting like a fucking maniac for the past few years, I would still buy a Tesla if I had the money for it. There's absolutely no other electric vehicle on the market with so much tech and so much power for so little money.
Quality? For sure others are better in this regard. But just pure fun and power? No other even comes close, and the ones that do (Porsche Taycan, etc) are much more expensive to buy AND maintain.
There's a reason Tesla model 3 is the best selling electric vehicle in the WORLD. Shit's good yo.
We have to know how to separate Elon, the character from the products and services his company provides. (except Twitter, it's gonna burn to the ground.)
He's always been a maniac. People just started noticing after the Thailand cave incident.

You would buy "the best tech" with "little money" on costs of quality, longivity and safety.
Just look at the control-arm problems and the way they "fix" it. Its disturbing.
Please never get trapped.
My principles don't allow for funneling money towards people who I believe will use it to make the world a shittier place.
You must live your whole life buying from only neighboring farms and individual creators, right?
I am curious which farm produced the smartphone and/or computer you’re using to browse this site?
Do you actually think the tech and gadgets you use, the clothes you wear, etc, are all made/created from some wholesome benefactor? The products we use are the result of abusing third world/developing nations, including child labor. What a hypocrite.
There's the cold ugly truth about capitalism, to which I haven't opted out. To some degree, that makes me a bad person for going along with a system I know I can't change. And then there's directly supporting a transphobic piece of shit who helps spread conspiracy theories online. I'll opt not to go along with the second one.
That's just blatantly false. There are a lot of other options out there that are at least comparable, if not outright better, than the Tesla models.
