Unpopular Opinion

I’m pretty sure I remember seeing something about how Musk had very little to do with Tesla.

Here's another unpopular opinion:

People blinded by the hatred towards Elon (or any other person) can't think straight and their opinions on related subjects aren't to be taken seriously

Embarrassed for people who buy them nowadays.. There are so many better EV out there lmao

We used to complain about BMWs and the likes, nowadays teslas drivers are some of the most bmw-like drivers out there and joined the club.

Lots of people will see it as a status symbol like an SUV... wait.. SUVs aren't even status symbols now? you have to have a big twin cab truck? People are such insecure losers lol >_>

I know fuck all about cars but I've been a passenger in a few Teslas and they seemed nice. Would I buy one? Probably not. Every car I've owned has been an absolute shitbox and it'll probably remain that way until I have to transport kids around.

You are the guy keying all the cars!

If you buy any EV besides a Tesla you are a fool.

1. buying a car is not an endorsement of the manufacturers CEO
2. Tesla charging network is unbeatable (such as the fact that it works)
3. every other EV is first-gen and unproven. Tesla battery degradation is known because there are 10+ year old cars on the road with hundreds of thousands of miles. There is no significant loss of range in the normal lifespan of an automobile
4. Tesla quality sucks but so does pretty much every manufacturer
5. the price is the price of a Tesla. You know exactly what you will pay before stepping foot in a "dealership". There are no market adjustments and shady BS.
6. since they are an ev only manufacturer I trust their service center 1000x more than a dealership whose techs work 99% on ice vehicles.
7. Elon musk might be a dumbass but he isn't going to intentionally compromise the safety of Tesla vehicles. It is bad business sense if it will lead to recalls, safety concerns, loss of mind share, etc

My opinion will change in a few years when Ford/gm/Hyundai/Kia/vw get another generation under their belt. I certainly wouldn't want to buy an EV now that doesn't have a "Tesla" nacs connector now that pretty much everyone has announced they are adopting it.

this would be a popular opinion on this site

I just avpid the issue altogether and just use trains, buses and trams if I'm not walking or biking. Public transport is the only real future. And bikes.

Btw I lived in a rural town before living in a city so don't @ me about public transportation not being viable in rural places, once the cities are well served and built around public transportation that can be expanded to more rural places. The few places where it is genuinely impossible to viably use even a modest or limited public transportation network are inhabited by so few people that its impact from them using cars would be negligible.

In fact I'd say it's not so much what type of car you drive but rather how much you use your car, because electric cars are less polluting than combustion engine cars but they're still pretty polluting and come with all the issues cars come with. If you have alternatives to driving: use them; if there aren't but there could be: fight for those alternatives; if neither: use whatever car you have already for as long as you can before it destroys itself like your toilet after a night out eating 50kgs of mexican food like a slutty little boykisser, after that perhaps look into buying one of the alternatives listed here.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

I'm a bike driver and Teslas wanna hit me left and square and I can't hear those removed. I get it the gas cars are probably gonna go extinct within 180 years, but telsas suck on build quality and those removed are expensive to do any repairs, where is my RIGHT TO REPAIR!!!!

I'm just here for Elaine
