Amen. Fuck Tesla owners for doing something decent for the environment.

I often legitimately wonder what the planned obsolescence for Tesla cars are? How much oil went into the manufacturing and transportation of materials for the creation of Tesla cars? Additionallly, how much oil is saved by repairing an old car with good gas mileage?

This is all not to mention the many cyclists/pedestrians who in their sheer choice of mode of transportation contribute far less emissions than the Tesla driver.

EVs are the biggest load of green wash ever and on par with 'clean coal'. They still use roads and carparks which are environmental waste lands, they also need power to run and their manufacturing and distribution process is definitely not environmentally friendly.

Not to mention that their CEO actively campaigned against public transport in a bid to sell more cars...

For me the worst part about Tesla's (and other electric cars in general) is when you're driving behind one and they have the regenerative breaking set to maximum. When they release the gas and start coasting, they decelerate a lot quicker than I do when I start coasting behind them which forces me to brake constantly.

The Elon hate is super cringe.

Like every other CEO is a great guy. Yea go buy off a car company that has done everything in their power to keep you using fossil fuels and everything possible to sell you the biggest shitties car with the most expensive features. Much better idea.

Elon defenders are super cringe. This guy goes above and beyond to show that he's a douche that cares for no one but himself. He deserves to be call be called out. Of course, he doesn't care but you should.

Also, wonder how the electricity for your tesla is generated? Fossil fuels mostly.
