I resemble this...sort of. Except my car is already paid for and I really don't think it's a wise decision to just blow money on another car simply to get out of a current vehicle that more than meets my needs.

Yeah,like if tomorrow everyone found out the CEO of Ford was a pedo, I promise you the supply of used F150's wouldn't suddenly skyrocket.

No but to be fair the maim reason for that is that usually CEO distance themselves from the company to an extent. The fact you can't name Ford's CEO is indicative enough.

I mean Henry Ford was a known racist and antisemitist, the Ford family still has majority voting power over the company.

Fuck literally every gasoline car driver on the road more than you. I don't own and hope to never own a car and Elon Musk can suck a fat fucking chode but a Tesla is still more respectable than every fossil fuel guzzling, planet destroying gasoline vehicle of comparable price

Weird climate extremism. The problem is capitalism, not cars although I hate cars.

Solving the car problem might be easier than solving the capitalism problem.
