Teslas were fine several years ago when Elon was “just” a massive prick. Every auto company executive was probably just as big of a prick but didn’t advertise their prickness on social media.

Now Elon has revealed he is a nazi trying to destroy multiple governments. Anyone buying this car is either so out of touch with reality that somehow they’ve missed all this or is secretly a fascist sympathizer.

No they weren’t. They broke from the weirdest shit, like getting rained on, and their repair policy is garbage.

No, they really weren't. Maybe for people more into gadgets than cars.

But they do have an unbelievable recall counts for such a shallow fleet.

The vast majority of the "recalls" are just over-the-air software updates to improve behavior/fix bugs. The NHTSA didn't distinguish a routine software update from an actual recall at all until last December.
