We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

At some point you have to draw a line, and the car sold by the guy who’s directly helping to destroy the US, helping the AFD in Germany get more power, and cutting aid to so many other countries which will lead to millions of deaths is a pretty fucking easy line to draw. Besides, as the saying goes, “electric cars aren’t here to save the planet, they’re here to save cars” so take public transit and fight for it if you don’t have it(also this is in Germany and Europe generally has more options than the backwater that is the US).

There are plenty of other options that aren’t so boldly rotten as Tesla, too. People not wanting even the slightest inconvenience is how we get into these messes and it’s time to buck up and deal with it.

yea because public transport works everywhere perfectly fine and people who have to use a car they bought because they cant afford buying a new one as a political statement can go fuckoff! sounds like a perfect plan.

not buying new teslas/try to boycott the company should be the line imo. not judging people that make use if something they already have! if you have a thing, use it as long as it freaking works is one of the most sustainable things you can do lol or do you mean using a magic wand and make the problems go away with “buck up and deal with it”?

nobody says that electric cars save the planet (beside maga idiots), also public transport wont save the planet alone bro.

if you have an bicycle that will save the planet more than public transport. if you have an electric car thats charged by sustainable energy that will save the planet more than some fucked up diesel engine.

your statement is just way to far off by fucking reality.
