    Leftists don't control what young adult men addicted to YouTube anti-woke content and their doom scroll algorithmic feeds understand about leftists. They are spammed 7 days a week multiple hours a day with clip chimped memes of Kamala laughing in 50 different ways and being told that Democrats want to stuff 5 years old boys with tampons.

    Question. Are there leftists in this message board?

    If so then I'm assuming you will find many examples of threads being spammed about things like transgenderism by leftists trying to push their agenda.

    So to test this how many threads in the past few years have been started by right leaning vs left leaning posters in regards to transgenderism?

    That's just one feature but I am not buying a rolling $100K trashcan looking car for one feature.

    Take politics and other fanboism hate aside...,to me, it's a hideous looking monstrosity. Every time I seen one, I am still shocked it's the final product.
    Then you add in the lackluster build quality especially from a 1st gen Tesla product, cost, size...no thanks.

    There are so many other cars I can get for 100K.

    Model S = status symbol especially when it first came out. The crowd I saw driving it was doctors/c-suite etc. Also it was a cool thing to do at the time.
    Model X = status symbol, especially the plaid.

    Model 3 = electric camry.
    Model Y = electric crossover camry.

    You could try, but you can never be better than the original.

    Pretty sure he is joking/being sarcastic (about the status part).

    I'm neither a Tesla only fanboi nor a Tesla hater. My wife drives the Y, I drive the Porsche. Fair.

    That's just a bad cope. If you were paying attention, Musk lost his mind long ago.

    The Thai cave rescue ridiculousness happened in 2018 and that was enough for many to decide he was an egotistical weirdo. 2018 was also the year when we learned Tesla factories had no safety markers or signs because Musk doesn't like yellow and when he smoked dope on Rogan which almost got him removed from Tesla and SpaceX. (They should have done it.) And there's always been the misogyny/multiple kids creepiness. Fact is, the more he is seen in public, the more unpopular he gets.

    Resale values on Teslas are - ROUGH - these days

    According to analysis of data from used car sales website CarGurus betweeen January 2024 and January 2025, average prices for the popular Model 3 fell by 25 percent, while cars like the Ford Mustang only fell by 5 percent. Tesla's other volume seller, the Model Y crossover, fared even worse, with average asking prices dipping 25.5 percent over the same time period​

    You hate to see it!

    They've always been terrible (resale value on those). Insane people buy them - even if he wasn't a nazi, TSLA would eventually suffer the same fate. Unfortunately I think he already saw the writing on the wall. He knew TSLA had a shelf life, that's why he moved onto to other schemes. Buying into government was genius, not doing in the shadows - narcissism always gets the best of him.

    Once they came out with the 30k model it's status dropped, and that ugly ass truck......and now Elon has killed his popularity.

    Tesla is a "Low T" car.
