We’ve known for years that the owner is a lying, creepy, out of touch dipshit and that it’s a very flawed car and the company will cut costs to save money on safety items, every time.

Electric vehicles with drive assist are awesome and are the future, but there are alternatives, especially if you have money, which a lot of Tesla customers do. And they’re not particularly well built; how many of these do you think will be on the road 20 years from now? And now we’ve seen how Elaine runs their companies, why the hell would anybody put their trust in their products?

If you’ve bought a Tesla in the last five or so years, you’re a damn goober in my eyes. That’s my hot take, prepared for being called poor and other sodium, tear filled comments from fools whose opinions don’t matter. You are the hardcore, foaming at the mouth Segway fan from the 2000s, have at me lol.

Update: The teary eyed, sweaty fingered responses to this are predictably hilarious. I’ve been called a guy that eats 4 pizzas a week in another old thread because of this, a cunt, a tool, a douche, a couple people spent their energy to tell me they don’t understand me spending my energy posting this, some people are telling me something about Tesla or Elaine living in my head rent free. All genuinely pathetic responses, so GG lol. Cheers.

    I recently got a used low-mileage Nissan Leaf and it’s been fantastic! I didn’t realize it was my dream car til I had it

      I very recently lost my 11-bar gen1 leaf when I got rear-ended. It had 110k km on it and I really loved it. Once insurance made me the boy-out offer I Immediately went to check out the newer leaf expecting more of what I lost, and I’m sorry to say that I really really didn’t like the gen2 leaf. It was gutless and felt like the suspension was made of marshmallows… Yes it was bigger, but it lost all the magic the first gen had and became a floaty family sedan that happened to be electric.
      I oped for a VW e-golf instead and it’s been amazing!!

        That’s a shame to hear, I never test drove one of the newer leaf models since we had decided on a 2016-2017 leaf and ended up getting one. I’m hoping mine lasts a long time, the e-golf looks great too!
