People don’t have to interact with Elon when buying a Tesla. They do have to interact with dealers when buying another car. It’s not surprising so many people chose Tesla.
Reminds me of the bill Desantis signed in Florida a few months back making it so gas powered vehicles HAVE to be purchased from a dealer and cannot be purchased directly from the manufacturer. Telsa doesn’t get hit by that bill, surely has nothing to do with Desantis owning a Tesla.
This. I’ve actually had people come up to me and go hurr durr fuck your Tesla. I usually ask them who the CEO of their car make is and they never know.
Somebody who isn’t a giant asshat loudly trying to manipulate the populace’s political opinions.
Otherwise they would know.
Being famous isn’t always a good thing.
Now if you asked who were the lead engineers/designers for said vehicles it would mean more about the vehicle itself (but most everyone wouldn’t have looked them up or found their names)
Haha, my Tesla is awesome. Drive one.
Agreed. Love my Y but fuck Elon Musk.
i don’t think a lot of people are driving a tesla because they ant to give money to the musk. i also don’t think that guy had a lot to do with
other than ‘i want that’ or ‘looks good to me’

I drove a Y for about 700 km this summer. It was OK.
I enjoyed driving an Audi E-tron much more. And my BMW i3 is a masterpiece as a daily city driver.
