I wish, in any way, we can get our Elon back. IDK, it's gonna take him a very long time if he ever wants to be liked around the world again. Honestly ,it's sad to see.
And its bullshit.
MElon was a psychopath long before he bought his way unto the tesler board of directors.
People just didnt care to believe it, despite the mountains of evidence.
I must say, Elon has boiled up some extreme 'animosity' in me.
I wish there was a way to reduce carbon emissions without making Elon richer...
Got it...get rid of the 100% tariffs on Chinese EV's. This would bring the base model EV to under $32,000. 300 mile range, room for DOGE (under the tires).
I have a couple customers at work who are as far left as anyone could be who bought Nazi cars before all of this went down. Most of them are getting by but just barely, they’re stuck with payments on a car no one round here will buy 🤷🏻♀️ they were trying to do good for the environment now they’re stuck
He's always been a dipshit but it's important to remember everyone is not as online as we are. The vast majority of people had no reason to know about everything he was saying before the decided to shove himself in everyone's face a few years ago
This. Some people adopted early because they were concerned about the environment and didn’t know about fElon. Do you research the CEO of every company before you buy consumer goods?
After a certain point of course everyone knew. Just like all other issues, there is actually a finesse to this one.
I’m one of those. Stupid lease ends soon. Tesla wants a metric fuckton of money to let me out of my lease early, so they will get their little 400 a month for a bit longer - then I’m gonna drive my car through the front doors of the nearest showroom and leave a steaming poo in it 🤣 (JK about the 💩)
1/2 At this point it feels like the poo would be justified! 💩
Paid off 2018 here. Why should I cheat my daughter out of a free car, if she willing to drive it? Is keeping it more more morally wrong than selling it at this point? He isn’t getting any money out of it, either way.
2/2 I have been showing up at rallies since 2/5 and marching for miles to (literally) give fElon the finger, which is more than most of the folx judging me can say. Also, my anti-Elon bumper sticker went on the car as soon as I could get one.
I really feel for the people who bought before we knew he was a Nazi. I bought a fire-tv three years ago to get off satellite, wish I had known that Bezo was a Racist MAGA without a spine.
I saw someone who had a Tesla and they had stickers all over their Tesla saying I bought this before Elon Musk turned into a fascist and there were stickers all over their car denouncing Trump and Musk. I would let them in in traffic 😉
Yeah, I was about to say the same thing. That's a brand new, updated Tesla Model 3. The owner is overtly lying with that sticker. Leave a note on it next time you see it, Pete.
True, but the average owner wouldn't have known that until he gave T2 all that money. When he went on SNL, the players warned it was a mistake. But they're young and very savvy. Most Tesla owners aren't.
Doesn’t work for me. It’s like us libs wear safety pins to let muslims know we were safe to talk to in early 2017 or any white lib wearing something to the effect that ‘its not me!’ Yes it is. We are all responsible for this shit show.
Boycott them, until they are removed or unemployed? Grandpa, said the difference between a recession and depression, Recession is when billionaire lose their business CEO job! A Depression is when Most of Regular people lose their JOBS! That’s when it’s serious!..
I think its fair to say that fucking with peoples cars is stupid. I remember getting harassed for driving a Honda when I was younger. It got keyed I got harassed. Why because I chose to buy a far more superior product than America could build. Curious if he steps down are you all back on board?
I'm getting a similar one. My Model 3 is a 2018 and one of the first 89,000 made, so I think it's legit. I want it to last 10 years before I dump it. Besides the rattling rear seat back and dash, still gets me to work ok.
Literally EVERY other manufacturer makes a far superior EV when compared to tesla, and for a lot less money. You bought a lemon, and are too afraid to admit it.
Lol, it runs great and saves me a lot of money, the more money the longer I own it. It's an EV after all. I'm not going to just throw it out like a consumerist. I don't care if the seat rattles 6 years later, I commute in it. I never buy gas or get oil changes or need new brakes.
Yeah, his comment is a little poor in argument. As someone who has driven most EVs, Tesla makes one of if not the best EVs depending on your taste.
I get not wanting to spend money on one today, but holding onto your older one you bought before.
That’s environmentally responsible for climate.
I wanted to drive my March 2018 Model S until the wheels fell off, but no amount of stickers could hide my disgust and embarrassment. I got rid of it this year, and I feel much better. It was not financially sound, but it was a decision that aligned with my values. Fuck Elon for making it toxic.
That is of course your right and is understandable. Since I'm still owning this EV for a few more years, I'm taking the opportunity to spread a message with it. It may be hard to believe, but many people still don't know what a Tesla is, even after everything that's happened so far.
Same as OP. He had been a peice of shot for years before this car came out. Do you just not pay attention or something? It's an overt lie and I'm still egging that shit.
Stop treating 90% political allies like shit and we might succeed in resisting fascism and fighting climate change. Give up the purity testing. That's one of the reasons we got mango musselini again.
Actions speak louder than lame stickers. Sell it, donate it, recycle it. Still driving it? Hypocrisy. Prove yourself. Yes, I know cars aren't easy to come by. Neither is a fascist free government these days. Do the work.
I need to drive to work to make a living and I'm going to do it in an EV. It's paid for, cheap to run, and has many years left. It will be recycled when it's no longer useful. People who aren't extremely online who see my sticker may get curious why someone would put it on a car they never heard of.
Except there is no pre-madness edition—he has always been like this. The only difference is his wealth and the relationship wealth has to someone’s freedom to leave their mask at home.
We were in the market for an EV in 2009 and it was Musk that steered us to Ford’s Fusion hybrid
The articles I read about him and his tunneling plans for trains in CA kept triggering images of The Simpson’s Monorail episode & The Music Man—am I a shaman?
That is a new car Tesla. Why slap a silly, factually incorrect sticker on that may damage the paintwork of something they have paid a lot of money for?
Well, Musk became CEO in 2008 and the first tesla roadster came out in '08, so I don't really see how it's even possible to have a "pre-madness edition" tesla
I have been a fan of our environment since birth. I do not own a Tesla, but I recently stopped giving the bird to all Tesla drivers because, as my hubs reminded me, we were close (to getting a Tesla) at one time because of our interest in climate change.
He very publicly called a heroic cave diver a "pedo" in 2018 just because the guy didn't want to use the ridiculous, impractical submarine Elon had slapped together for the rescue effort. And that wasn't the beginning of Elon's madness either, just a very prominent display of it.
I was a big SpaceX fan, and kind of an Elon stan, until the flamethrowers. That's where i realized he was a deeply unserious individual. And he only went down from there...
Seriously, the Teslas made before Musk had anything to do w/ it are still pretty great!
🤦🏻♀️
It’s terrible what he’s done to a great, innovative EV company! He’s completely ruined the entire brand forever…
🤦🏻♀️
…not to mention the good name of the brilliant & awesome inventor Nikola Tesla! He’d be pissed!
Sounds a bit like Steve Jobs, business wise.
But as a person Heilon MuSSk is a pure evil, totally inhuman, extremely dangerous.
Jobs, even with his defaults, is an angel in comparison.
Two things.
1. This is the latest Model 3 that became available to purchase only last year. Yes, before the Nazi salute, but certainly well after he bought Twitter and showed his entire ass.
2. Elon is not an engineer, he’s not a genius. He’s a lucky investor and a deceitful hype man. The only real input he’s had into the cars has been the ridiculous Cyberfuck. You can tell, because it looks like something a child from the 80s would draw for a “future truck”.
Yes! He has always been a delusional imbecile. Knowing the way he bought himself into Tesler, and the way he treated the founders, was wnuf for me, back in 2008.
And then the Hyperloop, boring co, and mountains of lies and corruption.
The problem goes far beyond not having things to tinker with. Tesla is a right-to-repair nightmare. They actively punish users who try to work on their vehicles outside of their authorized service centers.
Think how Apple was(is) with iPhone hardware, but it's a multi-thousand dollar car instead.
So what happens if the service center won't help you or is too expensive? Well, you can take it somewhere else, but that could mean you might lose supercharging or driving assistance features if Tesla finds out. They have even resorted to shady measures in the past to achieve this.
If they really want to deny their support of the brand that much, all these apologetics should just sell their cars, drive down their value, create a bear market
You can sell your Tesla or you can have it burnt to dust either way it must go . . . I don't care when you bought it. It's like saying you had bum sex before it was gay
I don't think it's reasonable to have everyone w/ a tesla just sell it that makes no sense now someone else's gonna drive it? it's still an EV (I honestly don't know the quality of the older models) I'd just cover up the logo and put a "fuck elon" sticker or smth or trade it in for a different EV
Except this is the new model 3… not a vintage one… he was already bunker by then (although he might always have been an AHO… we gave him the benefit of the doubt too long after the cave diver reveal… 😔)
Too bad really: Teslas are amazing… but won’t buy anymore as far as he make money from it.
I would donate the car to either an immigration or women’s rights group and take the loss but file for the charitable deduction. No way I’d keep driving the SwastiKar.
Telsa's are cheaply made and are prone to all sorts of mishaps. Anyone who is concerned about resources usage on the planet should drive an old gasoline operated car. Electric cars are an environmental disaster in the manufacturing process.
It's complicated for sure. If you have a car that gets good gas mileage like my late model Toyota & you don't drive very much it's a no brainer to keep it. If you have an older gas guzzler & drive to work every day the emission and disposal problems of EV batteries are offset quickly, within 1+ year
It's complicated: the mining and CO2 usage (never mind land destruction (1800 mt) for building and operating an EV is high. EV are emission free, it's centralized emissions (eg coal plant in Ohio). An older car has high decentralized emissions (yuck) and zero manufacturing. I like EVs. But...
I won't argue with this.
I love the idea of exhaust-free cities, but today's technology for EVs is not anymore environmentally friendly than gas vehicles.
I agree about exhaust free... I do, too (I live NYC/LA). My point: The resources used to make an EV, harvest rare earth, minerals for batteries, plastics, etc. is eye-popping. On scale (theoretically) EV are a disaster. A smarter gov't would allocate substantial resources to tackling these issues.
Mr Sagal
excuse me
Asking for help is heavy on my heart. I was always proud and self-reliant. But life broke me. I’m not here by choice—I’m here because I must protect my children. I hope I don’t lose your respect. I deeply need your support
Apologist, and trying to make it cool to own a Tesla. Sorry, but Tesla sucks and the brand is toxic. No campy bumper sticker is going to remove the taint.
Arguably, a company that would not be missed if it were to disappear overnight...along with its CEO...well, maybe there would be a few stock holders find their batteries flat over it, but the Planet would smile...
You have to feel a bit sorry for the owners. They were buying these cars in part to help the environment. Even a year ago, who could have imagined Musk would destroy the government. Even the authoritarian researchers didn't anticipate that. Their calling it the American way of doing authoritarian.
Yes, it was, but most didn't know it. And even if they did. His was the best electric car out there for quite a while. Knowing he was a schmuck might not tip the balance environmentally until he started supporting Trump. Hitler had Ford's picture in his office, but people still buy them.

😂👊🏻
That's been my position for some time.
Caught between a rock and a hard place.
Maybe stickers like this will 'save' them.

THEY ARE STILL SUPPORTING A NAZI!
Elon was calling people trying to rescue kids from a cave “pedophiles” over a decade ago
He’s always been a tremendous piece of shit, all these people just refused to pay attention to that fact
After a certain point of course everyone knew. Just like all other issues, there is actually a finesse to this one.

Stop being a media slag and a bully
His mistreatment of employees, in particular minorities was long known before his outright mask off period.
Normal Tesla cars get a pass from me, but no sympathies for cybetruck owners.
Had to chuckle. Like an actual chuckle sound
“Pre WTF Edition”.
Judging from the tail lights and the brand badging it’s a Model 3 from the past year or so.
For the longest time, none of us had ever even heard of him.
Then…those of us who follow climate news heard of him as part of Tesla…
…but still had no idea he just bought a company that other people invented…
…much less that he was a fkn Nazi!
Dance!

Trump supporters still don’t care about Tesla. Full stop
It is extremely on brand for democrats to attack themselves to spite republicans.
They know. 😣
Why did some of us always know he was no good.
There was no before.

Go throw eggs at a lifted truck with MAGA stickers.

1. This is the latest Model 3 that became available to purchase only last year. Yes, before the Nazi salute, but certainly well after he bought Twitter and showed his entire ass.
Not sure I care at this point. Musk was always a psychopath and it's not that hard to get rid of a vehicle if you wanted to trade in for a cheaper EV.
The guy’s been a known racist asshole for years
Tesla buyers didn’t care until it bit them on the ass.
And then the Hyperloop, boring co, and mountains of lies and corruption.
I still think they're trash now and have yet to see one mechanic driving a Tesla.
Nearly all also have something they consider dead reliable so they can get to work and make money by tinkering.
Think how Apple was(is) with iPhone hardware, but it's a multi-thousand dollar car instead.
Louis Rossmann
And
Edison Motors
These are people out there actively working to make a difference in the world, rejecting wasteful consumption and greedy companies
NOT PRE MADNESS!
And sadly Musk was always a dickbag, he just stopped trying to hide it.
More like I bought this before I was paying attention.
Too bad really: Teslas are amazing… but won’t buy anymore as far as he make money from it.
Ever since I saw how shoddy the Cybertruck was, I immediately wondered how many corners they've been cutting over the years.
Telsas blow up, they run into other cars, people can't get out of the car during a fire.
Please, do not compare them to other cars. The owner of Tesla is an arrogant prick.

Some genuinely believed he had decent intentions, some only found out recently, and tbh I don't blame them
A Nazi mobile is a Nazi mobile regardless.
Trade it in.
You bought the hype and didn’t listen.
So who could have imagined? We warned you. You told us to stop shitting on “progress”.
