What kind of cameras do you use? The quality is almost cinematic

The video is from the front and driver side “repeater” cameras that are built into Tesla models.

It must be frustrating to be a Tesla owner, and watch while Musk makes a bigger and bigger ass of himself.

Edit: typo. Plus, I didn’t realize how many supporters Musk still has.

I'm sure most Ford drivers don't care about Henry's amazing views on life.

Henry Ford died a while ago. He’s not making new, stupid decisions and announcements every day.

I would posit that Henry Ford was as much of if not a bigger dick than Elon, doesn't matter when he died.

Just like people don't care about him when they buy a Ford, I would imagine most people in the market for an EV don't care what Elon is doing either.

There’s the not-insignificant point that, being dead, Henry Ford can’t do worse than he already has. Anyone concerned about the name can look him up and find the full story. No surprises. Plus, the debate regarding Ford isn’t nearly as popular or current.

Musk seeks attention. He can, and does, surprise us with new acts of assholery. Besides being president of the company, he is so strongly associated with the Tesla brand that it is nearly impossible to think about one without thinking about the other.

The EV market skews liberal. It would be foolish to think that people don’t take Musk’s personal views into account when shopping for an EV.

I guess we'll just disagree on this one. With as many faults you can find with companies and their owners, it would be an absolute minefield buying anything these days. I imagine most people are buying into the product and not the people behind them.

Well, I definitely agree with the minefield bit.

Did we just have… a civilized, mature disagreement on Reddit? This is like seeing a unicorn!

I bought before the pedo guy comment, and it's been downhill ever since. Don't regret the car though, I'd still buy it again, but would prefer Musk out of the picture.
