Elon couldn’t pay me to buy a Tesla. I like EVs. It’s not about the technology. It’s entirely about Elon. I’d rather buy Japanese or South Korean, thank you.
Toyota sells a couple EV models in China for the China market not sure where thier overseas models are made…Toyota has the second biggest selling EV in Norway for example and have that model here in Australia, its actually ok, the previous version was comparatively shitty
The bz4x/bz/Solterra is still the worst EV on the road, bar none.
Worst range of all EVs, flip phone quality software center stack, and the same price as a model y. It’s nuts that anyone would buy those pieces of shit.
I really despise most everything about him but if Elon were to actually pay me and give me a free car I’d very likely take it. I mean I have principles but I’m not an idiot.
I thought that was just the Cybertruck, which yes, I wouldn’t drive even if someone gave me one. I’d flip it and buy something else.
I think both the sedan and roadster are okay electric cars, and I think they have enough range I could use them to reduce the amount of gas I burn in my Volt for longer trips.
But, I haven’t really been paying attention to Tesla recently, and Elmu has certainly been looking horrible to me.
The problem is the door locks are electric, so if the car loses low voltage power, the buttons to open the doors no longer work. Worse yet, the Model 3 only has emergency physical latches in the front seats, so good luck in the back, kids.

I’d rather buy a Chinese one, but mr Biden made that impossible.
i have a BYD here in Australia.
Legit, how is it? I’m Canadian and they are going to come to market here soonish.
Wait, is he still President with a majority in the House of Reps and Senate since 2025?
Thanks, Obama!
Biden put a 100% tariffs on chinese EVs, making it essentially impossible to import them. not like trump was going to roll those back
Yeah, I hate trump, but the Dems fucked this one up. Also like they’ve fucked the elections that led to trump.
depends on the definition of paying. is he giving you discount, or is he paying more than the car’s worth?
if it is the latter, then i am fine keeping all the fucker’s money and set the free teslas on fire.
Which Japanese EV? I’m not aware of any good ones.
Korean ones? Best on the market. If you want the best for a reasonable price, Hyundai or Kia.
I like the Ionic.

That one?
Nah I’d even drive a paintless dumpstertruck over that thanks
Volvo, Rivian, Kia, Chevy, Ford, plenty of ev options that aren’t negligently dangerous like Toyota’s EVs or Teslas
toyota has a couple (but I’m not sure if they are available in the US)
Well let’s not be too hasty here…

Yeah, you are. The fucking death traps with doors that won’t open in a crash and unless you know where the secret escape hatch is you are cremated.
Tesla just fucking lost a lawsuit about this.
Get that free asbestos sweater while you’re at it.

GM has been doing this for over 15 years.
