Even if he sold Tesla and they are no longer associated, they won’t get a sale from me. In my mind, they and their products are tainted. I hate them with a fervor especially after all the bullshit they pulled against high speed rail. Fuck Tesla.
Doesn’t help that they have a strong reputation for shite quality. It’s really just numerous layers for most of us:
- Product/brand is tainted (as you say).
- Declining quality of their products.
- Reputation (warranted or not) of many Tesla drivers being clueless idiots behind the wheel.
- Still too many embarrassing Musk fans closely associated with Tesla (related to the first point).
- Prices still too high for many.
Not to mention,
-
Anti-repair company that forces you to go into certified Tesla Repair servicers. Potential for obsoletion is high, and so is the potential that they could disable/downgrade older models remotely.
-
They make most of their money by paying engineers incredibly low wages.
And
- Aggressively Anti Union
- Overuse of touch screen controls
- Poor repairability (nearly all EVs have lower maintenance costs than gas vehicles, but its not clear Teslas do)
-
