Buying or owning Tesla, or using his bullshit is supporting Trump.
Yup. I call Tesla's "Muskmobiles" and have a lot of contempt for the people driving them. I assume these people are Trumpers.
If people don't want this association, then replace the logo or sell the thing.
I do not have a Tesla but I am considering buying an EV. Teslas are the best EV, especially now that the self driving stuff works. Elon is the only thing steering me elsewhere.
Also, imagine buying one a few years ago and wanting to make the decision based on the technology or the environment. These people make a huge investment, possibly even with good intentions, and buying a new car is not cheap. Cut them a break.
The self driving works? I'm not sure I believe it.
People post YouTube content for every new build. It has gotten very good over the last year or so, even in cities. It still needs a bit of work but appears to drive almost human.
Just a few days ago, it was shown that Tesla's FSD is being specially trained on influencer's routes to make it appear better in their videos and experience, without them even knowing.
Got a source on that? Not challenging the claim, just really interested to learn more about it.
Edit: NVM, after some googling I was able to find it.

Interesting, I had not heard that, I just found the videos impressive.
Do you regularly bet your life on YouTube videos?
I have gotten similar responses about the quality of FSD from multiple people, even got the one from you that you have since deleted. Are you really this unoriginal and self important?
