How do you feel now about your Tesla purchase?


Now that the cat is out of the bag, how do you feel about your Tesla purchase?

I traded mine in for a Rivian this week, couldn't stomach it anymore.

I find it a comfortable, fast, long-range, and mostly reliable car. I enjoy driving it. I do not enjoy being associated with Musk. If I could trade my four-year-old Tesla for a four-year-old EV of equivalent comfort, speed, range, and reliability then I would. However, Musk has destroyed the resale value of my car. My biggest fear is now that the company won't be able to survive his behaviour, and I'll be left with the motoring equivalent of a pacemaker made by a startup that went under.

I have four and I won’t buy another until he’s no longer associated with the enterprise. Test driving an F150 Lightning tomorrow.

Did you ever wear HUGO BOSS clothes, or use an IBM computer?

Do you know what they did in WWII?

It’s great.

I wouldn't hold owning a Tesla against anyone, especially if they bought it before 2024. Lots of people bought their Teslas before Elon Musk became full-on red-pill woke.

Now that Cybertruck is another story, there's no excuse for that monstrosity.

Extremely conflicted. Love our Teslas. FSD is incredible. But I helped support Elon becoming what he is now. Not a good feeling. I sold all of my Tesla stocks, though.

Love it! Zero issues with my Teslas. Don't like the design of Rivian.
