I’m in that boat. I love my Model Y, but damn has Elons behavior the past few years really put a stink on it. It’s by far my favorite car I’ve ever owned, and I feel shame driving it. Weird feeling.
Same here with my Model 3. Not a single issue since I got it in 2022, but I’m dumping it for the Rivian R2 as soon as they’re available. Already preordered.
One option is, you could get one of those bumper stickers that says "I bought this before we know Elon was crazy". They're like $7.
It won't actually do anything. Most people are reasonable and understand that buying a Tesla doesn't automatically mean you're okay with what Elon is doing. And the people crazy enough to vandalize your Tesla probably won't be stopped by a cheap bumper sticker. But it would be a good way to say "Yes, I get it, Elon sucks, and I'm not happy about it either."
If you're feeling really spicy, buy some spray paint and write "Fuck Elon" all over your car. Vandalize your own Tesla before someone else does.
Or maybe it might backfire, and the vandal will think "It's already been vandalized, so it's fair game to vandalize it even more."
Yeah me too. I want an electric car but I want range and charging network to easily drive cross country as well as reliability. I know people are going to bash the tesla build quality but they don't just fail (other than the cyber dumpster) like others. I'd fucking love to jump to a competitor. Self driving is a scam and if others had the charging network and 300+ mile range I'd be all over it
And you are a POS. The thinking that vandalizing people’s Teslas is justified is fucked up. Especially since until a year ago it was considered a car only a tree hugging hippie would buy by the far right.
Not everyone can just unload their car and buy a new one.
Teslas are not some super expensive car. I drive a lot for my job. It was actually a super economical car for me.
Just realize by thinking this way you are targeting mostly people that lean liberal. You are attacking the wrong people. And feeding hefty repair bills to Elon.
Not that I need to worry about you anyway. Anyone who spams that a group of people are “permissible targets” on Reddit probably doesn’t leave the house anyway.
Not really. My parents bought a Tesla but we can't afford to get rid of it because of how the lease is set up. It's literally cheaper to wait until the lease runs up.
