Tesla owners in the U.S. and overseas are selling their vehicles because of Elon Musk's politics, intensifying a backlash against the company. “Two weeks ago, I was called a Nazi,” one owner said.

I am friends with a married couple who are in the exact same position. They got two Teslas before Musk went nuts. Then, two weeks ago, they told me they unloaded one, and are getting rid of the other Tesla as soon as they can financially.
This is what we're all trying to do eventually. And nobody will buy Tesla again. In the meantime it would be nice to be not called a Nazi and it would be even nicer if no one would set my car on fire. It's electric after all and better for the environment than gas cars.
Just to be absolutely clear: Musk was always that crazy and was always just talking total nonsense. I am really confused why people think he changed, he just went more bold.
It's crazy I almost bought a Tesla after my car got totaled I'm like well I'll wait till the price drops ... A year later I'm glad I never bought one , shame a lot of people stuck in a 7 year finance lock
Countries need to consider Elon a national threat and ban him from doing business, including selling Tesla cars, in their country. Bankrupting Tesla would deliver a significant financial impact on him.
People are judged by the company they keep, and that includes the cars they drive. I automatically assume the worst of any Tesla drivers I see, extra points off if they’re driving a shitbox cybertruck. It’s up to them to prove they’re NOT an asshole.
Before jumping to conclusions: Tesla has 125,000 employees. 124999 of them are great people and the brand has contributed more than any other to the transportation revolution. Don't exaggerate, or if you do, then please do a CEO check before every product purchase.
Buying a Tesla is Nazism, buying a Chinese car is Red ideology, buying Japanese or Korean cars is American lackeyism. People are all paying the price for their own perceptions. What a fucking irony.🤡
Only way to save the Tesla brand is to force Musk out. It’s a publicly traded company owned by share holders. Force him to sell his shares and step down from positions
I roll down my window and yell “fuck Elon Musk” at the top of my lungs. Every time I see a Tesla.
Since I’m a city girl, I mostly yell this from the sidewalk
Maybe check for a temp plate first? I have very liberal friends who bought a Tesla three years ago. It's not really fair for them to get yelled at because Elon thinks the world is his video game to lose.
Ugh...I own one. Being forced into early retirement before I'm eligible to draw on my IRA without penalty, I really don't want to buy a new car at this time.
Taking pennies on the dollar, no doubt. Many people bought them before they knew what a toxic waste sluice Elmo is. I feel bad for them, but I would rather walk than ever get into one ever again, no matter how far it is.
I’m so happy I got rid of mine when I did. Porsche makes a superior electric vehicle. Don’t support fascism. Buying a Tesla is funding the modern day Nazi.
An authoritarian political ideology marked by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation, and strong societal and economic regimentation.
Zero sympathy for these people. Elon always had bizarre fascist tendencies. When you bought the car, the brand he is so associated with, you bought into HIM as a product. Suffer with your choice.
I completely understand the impulse to hate these cars, but most of the owners of them are people who care about the environment (aka liberals). Protest at the dealerships where people are now knowingly supporting a Nazi, but don’t assume every Tesla driver is an asshole.
Liberals have had plenty of options other than Tesla for quite some time. The hate on the Tesla CEO is understandable since even before he became a full Nazi, but the hate on the cars is there even without the Nazi boss. They are a public hazard due to Autopilot, Fire and Self-Exploding features.
Most Teslas don’t have autopilot, and neither Teslas nor EVs in general are more likely to catch fire than gas vehicles. You sound like you’re advocating for keeping gas and abandoning EVs which, from an environmental perspective, is as senseless as Elon.
I say this because quite literally global peace and prosperity may depend on it - we need to continue to do everything possible to sabotage the Tesla brand and tank its stock price.
I had all kinds of stickers on mine "Bought it before Elon went nuts" etc but in the last snowstorm I just decided to crash it 🤦🏻♂️ or maybe he was listening in and did it.
A Tesla owner friend was hit head on last week which wrote off the car. He’s HAPPY he has a good reason to get a new (non-Tesla car). Hospitalized for bone breaks and a suspected brain bleed but the car is gone. Who is ever happy to crash their car???
Boris johnson started this with oneweb and all or at least boosted it via cummings I remember.
This is a late benefit people laughed at at the time. It was in height of brexit. Now there seems to be quiet collaboration without touching that issue which is good
It’s not that Tesla owners are nazis it’s that by having one they appear to supporting a nazi. Do NOT sale them, send to be crushed and ensure they are.
And eat at least 30K? The shit's flying all over the fan already. Everyone needs their money now. People don't need to be fined for a purchase they made three or four years ago. If you see a Temp plate on a Tesla, you've got yourself a Nazi.
Unfortunately it seems like it won’t really hurt him, because Tesla is just a part of his enormous wealth. I read somewhere that he’s not really prioritizing Tesla since sales have been declining.
If you buy a Tesla now, Americans will see you as a nazi. You will be dehumanized by patriotic Americans where ever you go, where ever you park. You shall be vandalized and assaulted, general public will not be there for you. Look, I'm just the messenger. Whats coming behind me is destined.
Are you joking? Tesla's cars are consistently ranked below average by American consumers.
-Ranks 27th for dependability, with only one brand of car being worse. Issues are batteries, fires, etc
-Ranks 30th for repair problems, with only 3 brands ranking worse.
-Ranks 14 out of 30 for reliability.
The rubber-banding of having Chinese vehicles imported to the IS markets in 10+ yrs will hit like nothing else. These are promising manufacturers that, in some years, will be matured companies.
I wonder if Musk, in his political and business manoeuvres, took into account that the vast majority of buyers of electric cars are people who can hardly be called conservatives.
ANYONE WHO DRIVES A TESLA IS SUPPORTING RUSSIA AND WILL BE CONSIDERED A NAZI AND YOU WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOW! SHARE AND SPREAD THE WORD! WE ARE AT WAR WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE ATTEMPTING TO DESTROY AMERICA, OUR FREEDOM, AND OUR DEMOCRACY!
Nazi cars built by nazi Elon for nazis.
Elon is so dumb. Tesla is bought by people who believe in the saving environment and democracy. MAGAs will never consider buying any e-vehicles. Like the bee Elon against honey.

The brand is toxic.
They are everywhere.
Yes this is fine to say.
Tonight, I encourage you all to turn OFF the State of the DisUnion & instead tune into the 24 hour State of The People which is currently streaming!

She’d be despondent about the stock price more than anything.

I'm not sure harassing current Swasticar owners is the way though...
Then Musk buys out Tesla & gives us the biggest POS electric truck in history
Anyone with a full-on Wankpanzer, or buying now, is a nazi symp.

Additionally, FYI, cars sold in the USA which are partly produced in Canada or the US are lumped together as US-Canadian made.
25% of a US-sold Tesla is made outside of Canada and the US.
