    I was also considering buying an electric car and immediately ruled it out because of him. Why should I line his pockets? Also I read a lot of bad coverage on their cars in general. I think people are starting to see through the fog that they are not good cars.

      There are plenty of non-Tesla electrics on the market now. And they’re much better cars to boot. You might look into one of those.

        Unfortunately, some areas have standardized on Tesla charging stations for all electric cars, so you’re giving him money no matter what.

          All charging stations in the US will about the NACS connector, but it uses the CCS communication standard. They don’t pay musk royalties for them as it’s now a standard.

          Yeah, it’s basically the US standard at this point, I know. But at least you don’t have to drive his car.
