    Myself and my friend have ditched ours within the last week or so.

    A third friend is working on it.

    Two people I work with decided against getting a Tesla and are looking at other brands.

    The Q1 earnings will be fabricated / full of lies - but the fact remains that Tesla is tanking.

      Some forensic accounting just revealed they cooked their books to the tune of about one and a half billion dollars. It’s kinda impressive how blatant it is, but it makes sense in the context, because there’s no way any punitive action will come of it, given the context.

    When I think of the tesla brand I think nazi, racism, facism, bigotry, etc. So yeah I wouldn’t want to drive one even if it was given to me for free because of the problematic association. Some sticker wouldn’t make me feel people would buy that I’m not part of the cult of new world order worship bringing about extreme expansionist ideals and discrimination.

    I wish we could do polls easily because I’d bet a surprising amount of us know someone who has traded in their Tesla recently.
