Tesla’s profits were once the envy of the auto industry.

    Even if he sold Tesla and they are no longer associated, they won’t get a sale from me. In my mind, they and their products are tainted. I hate them with a fervor especially after all the bullshit they pulled against high speed rail. Fuck Tesla.

      Doesn’t help that they have a strong reputation for shite quality. It’s really just numerous layers for most of us:

      • Product/brand is tainted (as you say).
      • Declining quality of their products.
      • Reputation (warranted or not) of many Tesla drivers being clueless idiots behind the wheel.
      • Still too many embarrassing Musk fans closely associated with Tesla (related to the first point).
      • Prices still too high for many.
