As someone who’s not American, and has never followed Musk or anything he’s done before, I bought mine before it was clear to me how much of a fucking psychopath he really is.
It was the only reasonably priced EV here at the time of purchase, but man I actually kind of feel ashamed driving it around now. There are tons of things I love about the car, quite a few things I dislike, but the only thing that actually makes me regret the purchase is that piece of shit. And I’m nowhere wealthy enough to sell it at a loss and go for something else now.
Really hope he’s forced to leave the company someday…
Before he revealed himself to be one
nah, always been one, like I said to what looks like a deleted reply:
If the sticker said “I bought this before Tesla was taken over by a huge asshole”, my response would be different.

Apparently it goes back a while, I didn’t do anything like this when I was a kid

edit:
Damn, even his own dad wouldn’t defend him on that one, moved him to a different school instead:

“He also recalled a time when Elon made a hurtful comment to a schoolmate about his father’s suicide.
The boy pushed Elon down a staircase at school, injuring him so badly he had to be hospitalized.
When he heard what happened, Errol wanted to defend his son.
“But I realised Elon overstepped the mark with this little boy. I had to drop it,” he said.
After that incident, Errol moved Elon to the prestigious Pretoria Boys High School.”
The roadster was released after that happened.
I guess there might be a handful of prototypes around?
