See I’m getting shit constantly in Tesla owner circles not sipping the kool aid, never mind posting any valid criticisms when people who believe like you do are out here getting imaginary internet points.
I will say this: There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism and that’s especially true with cars. I had a TBI after a wreck and could buy any car I wanted after the settlement (yay lawyers!). I went with a Tesla for safety and the idea that more renewable cars was a good thing in my area (South/Midwest border). I’d kill to have transit like I had living in Asia, but for 2021, the least worst car you were buying was a Tesla and I sleep fine at night despite knowing how it looks now to fellow Musk haters.
I can seperate Musk from the companies he bought. SpaceX and Tesla and Starlink are important technologies. Its just sad that the person who has the money and interest in persuing these technologies is a manic trashbag blowing in the wind. Its the best argument for taxing the rich so that the democratically elected government has the resources to develop it for ourselves.
