Everyone forgets where the German cars, Henry Ford, etc came from politically.

I was looking into my first EV, and politics just didn’t weigh that much into the decision. Now, the “infotainment as a perpetual service”, that turned me off and away from Tesla. With CarPlay my car dash will never lose service, and will always be free to use with updates from Apple/Google. I can’t imagine why people would ever pay for their infotainment when CarPlay is better or equal in all cases to the alternative.

That said, if Tesla and other brands were equally weighted in my purchase decision, I’d then happily rule Tesla out based on merit.

German cars come from Carl Benz, who built the first automobile in 1885, four years before Hitlers birth.

Are either Ford or Mercedes currently run by Nazis? Can the average person on the street name the CEO of either of them?

The problem with Tesla is that everyone hates the guy who has made himself the face of the company at a time when there are plenty of alternatives.

Well VW is still around. Maybe Teslas will be classic cars in 80 years.

/s: They will all self immolate.

Musk chased right-wing approval, but the only thing he got was declining sales and a dying brand.

I mean he got tens of billions of dollars in increased wealth so I dunno if I'd say that.
