    My brother has a Tesla, and also a dislike of Elon. I think the important thing to remember is that Tesla is a company of many people, and they even have a specific department to wrangle the Elon and his antics. He’s the “evil” attached to the capital they required to accelerate a much needed paradigm shift in American car culture. I don’t think I would get a Tesla personally, not because of shit that Elon is doing, but because I have concerns about production quality, repairability, and owners rights.

      My BIL got a new Tesla a few weeks ago, my dad has an older one (4 years iirc). I’ve driven my dad’s one and I must say, I don’t like it as a car and the build quality is not great. Too much fiddling with the touchscreen to get basic things done. Then I looked at my BIL’s Tesla and it’s a hard no now. You can’t remove the stick for the indicators. It’s moronic.

      It’s not just Elon that makes me not even consider a Tesla. He’s just an extra reason to not consider the brand.
