I see so much hate toward Tesla in this post and I assume it's mostly because of Musk.

But at the end of the day they are still the ones selling the most EV which I still believe is a good thing.

I'd rather people buy an asshole's EV than another polluting pick-up truck tbh. (I know EV are also creating pollution, no need to point this out ty).

The vast majority of EVs I see in the street of my french city are Tesla's. And I see a bit more everyday. And no matter how much I despise Musk, I still appreciate the fact that tesla is helping us move forward from combustion engines.

I don't really care if someone buys a Tesla just to show off. It's one less combustion engine on the road.

Teslas just aren't great EVs compared to other brands. The reason they are popular is because of marketing.

Give me a Renault EV any day.

Who would have thought your brand would tank if you go full send on being a absolute douche bag. Almost like there is consequences for you actions... Something these ultra rich assholes never face.
