“Whether you hate me, like me or are indifferent, do you want the best car, or do you not want the best car?” [Apartheid Manchild] told audiences at an event in November.

Well, for starters I don’t want a car at all. I’d rather use public transit. You know, an actually effective means of reducing emissions.

If I were in the market, yes, I would want the best car. Which is why I’d never buy a Tesla. I’d buy an XPeng or a BYD or the like.

    You know the batteries are warranted to 80% health for eight years? Teslas are still too new to know how well they last but early Model S tends to be still on the road after ten years and counting

    I used to think similar about a Civic, but mine only lasted 11 years (electrical issues, paint issues, airbag issues). I have every reason to expect my Tesla to last similarly
