    Who knew pissing off leftist people by being a douchebag when your company sells electric vehicles that are typically championed by said leftists could hurt your sales? So mysterious.

      Yep. I was unironically going to buy a Cybertruck… then Elon came out of the fascist closet while Tesla’s QC/CS problems escalated… now there is no way I will ever touch anything Tesla or related to Musk.

      Waiting for Aptera now, but would also consider Rivian in a pinch.

          I just wish it weren’t such a sad-Pokemon homely looking little thing, especially from the front. Definitely better than the Cybertruck, though.

        The Two EV Genders

        I’m happy enough with my Chevy Volt. Would love a fifth gen NEV hybrid, but it seems like they’ve just given up making them.

      You made me look it up, the newest vehicle they offer is the Cybertruck, but that design was revealed in 2019, the same year that the previous newest model of SUV started shipping, the Model Y. Their entire line is almost 6 years old, that is ancient in fancy car design time. By now people no longer want EV cars that look like electric cars, they just want them to look like cars. Ever since BYD, Nissan, and the other manufacturers started to offer EVs that are indistinguishable from petrol cars—design wise—Teslas have definitely looked outdated. No wonder no one is interested in driving an Apple Magic mouse.
