The Elon hate is super cringe.
Like every other CEO is a great guy. Yea go buy off a car company that has done everything in their power to keep you using fossil fuels and everything possible to sell you the biggest shitties car with the most expensive features. Much better idea.
I think the problem is he's a giant douchenozzle ruining free speech and the cars are very poorly designed compared to many other EVs.
I mean so are chrysler dodge but no one trashes them as much, and they have had decades ahead of Tesla to sort it out
Ha, no. But worked in Windsor/Detroit auto industry for too long. people there love their Didge/Chrysler products, but they had terrible gap spacings, faulty products right from factory, and terrible repair record with mechanics. The cheap price correlates to the level of quality though
My semi professional opinion ( since I exited automotive right around Tesla's public vehicle launch ) they are rushing to compete in an established market. It takes a long time to dial in quality on the stampings and frame, especially if material vendors change or others uses to ramp up production. They are focusing on production numbers to stay viable as a company. The early model had a comparable front lens design to other competitiors, the rear lens was a cheap get this assmebly done type design. Focus was on the front because everyone looks at the front of car for press pictures etc
Elon defenders are super cringe. This guy goes above and beyond to show that he's a douche that cares for no one but himself. He deserves to be call be called out. Of course, he doesn't care but you should.
Also, wonder how the electricity for your tesla is generated? Fossil fuels mostly.
I don't think he was defending Elon. I think he's saying that pretty much all CEO's are just as bad. They're just not public figures so few people know.
One of those spinny things on a stick outside or by that orange ball in the sky.
