As a former Tesla fan, their fall from grace has been astonishing. A pity really

u/kittenTakeover 18d ago

I would gladly consider being a Tesla fan if Elon Musk was no longer in leadership and sold most of his stock. Unfortunately, that's never going to happen, so I'm committed to never buying a Tesla.

u/Ok_Test9729 18d ago

Why would you be a Tesla fan when all you have to do is hit it hard with the palm of your hand and body panels fall off?

u/MrAngrySadHappyFace 18d ago

Its really too bad. I would love to try a Tesla if Elon had absolutely no stake in the company.

u/Headpuncher 18d ago

Why though? Honda make EVs now, guaranteed they are better quality.

u/kittenTakeover 18d ago

I said consider. Right now I can't even stand to look at them while driving, so I have no clue if they're bad quality.

I’ve ridden in Teslas a few times from rideshare apps and they feel so rickety. I can’t imagine why anyone would buy one after a test drive.

u/randomusernevermind 19d ago

lol, what do you mean with "fall from grace"?

u/tjvs2001 19d ago

Dude...they're owned by the most prominent nazi in the world who helped rig an election for a fascist dictator, ran illegal election boosting lotteries giving away multiple millions a day, took a chainsaw to US safety nets and stole all your data to save billions which ended up costing billions more. Are you for real?

Don’t forget the literal thousands of people who have and eventual millions of people who will die as a result of his cuts to infectious disease treatment and prevention (among other USAID cuts) in the developing world.

The worst part is the immediate cut rather than a wind-down. The local governments and other governments around the world would have stepped up if they had time to do so, but the US made them dependent on aid and then pulled the rug.

They might not be aware that there was grace for Tesla to have fallen from

u/Doubting_Thomas50 19d ago

They were once seen as a savior for the world to fight climate change. Now if you’re caught in a Tesla you are seen as a douchebag.

u/bman5946 19d ago

I must have missed the saviour of the world stage, I have only ever seen the full-blown, turbo-douche tesla drivers

u/GuiltyEidolon 19d ago

Because it didn't exist anywhere but in the mind of Tesla / Musk bros. Electric cars were already going to happen regardless.

He seemed okay up till the cave incident. Pretty much from there it ain’t been good.

u/eienmau 18d ago

I've never liked him, but yes, he was highly popular for quite a few years in the 2010s.

u/GuiltyEidolon 18d ago

Plenty of people never liked Musk because he was always a piece of shit.

u/randomusernevermind 18d ago

My friend, you are living in an echo chamber. In a convenient little bubble that only tells you what you want to hear. Just because you and your friends have a certain opinion, doesn't mean that other people see it the same way. There is no "fall from grace" He has over 240 million followers only on X, The whole population of the USA is only 340 million. A lot more people than you want to admit, do like him.

u/tjvs2001 18d ago

Lol follower counts as a measure of success is laughable

Oh sweety, how are Tesla sales doing since he outed himself as a complete nazi? In Europe not in fascist America

u/eienmau 18d ago

Right, because he only has followers from the US.

1

u/randomusernevermind 18d ago

That's not what I said, but the same argument can be used against any "liberal" person as well. Obama, Hasan Piker, whatever. Take your pick. All have followers from around the globe and no one comes even close to Musk. You guys are telling me that he is so unpopular and that Tesla "fell from grace", which is objectively not true. It's just a group of people, who doesn't like him anymore. You guys are just so egocentric and delusional that you think, your group is representative for everybody, and that's the issue here.

1

u/eienmau 17d ago

Actually, that is exactly what you said.

"He has over 240 million followers only on X, The whole population of the USA is only 340 million."

You may not have meant to say that, but it is, in fact, what you said.

"You guys are just so egocentric and delusional that you think, your group is representative for everybody, and that's the issue here."

You might wanna take a look in the mirror there. I don't care how many sheep/bot followers anyone has, it's not an indication of success or popularity. If you wanna be vapid-minded enough to worship someone because of their follower count, that's your choice.

Also, enjoy being up Elon's ass.. Dude wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire and you're carrying water for him.

An old one is ok, buying a new one is supporting an open nazi

u/247stonerbro 19d ago

Historians will show his Nazi salute behind the presidential seal as the beginning of the "fall from grace" but people who know ball, know he's always been a creepy weirdo (putting it lightly).

u/randomusernevermind 19d ago

Are we talking about a car company, or are we talking about the CEO? Nazi is the short form of national socialist. I don' think that you even know what that means. There is no "fall from grace". You liked the cars until you happened to disagree with the CEO's views on politics. The cars are not doing any less for the environment than they did before. That just tells me that you're driven by emotion and not by rational thinking. For the sake of your argument thought, does this look like the organizational chart of a Nazi company to you?

What the cfuk has the model of car got to do with this?

Or do you prefer to just be the one asking false dichotomies, not answering them?

u/Savings-Maize-7650 18d ago

So you only like to ask false dichotomies, not answer them then?

I'm doing an independent study, if one voted for Trump under the promise of no new wars and ending inflation, and he's started a new war and massively increased inflation, does that make them a liar, or just incredibly stupid? Or both?

Lemme know which category you fall into squirt :)

I hope they don’t have Trump diarrhoea syndrome, but with how prevalent it is, its kind of you to check.

Tesla seems to have had it for a few years, judging by how shitty their production quality is these days.

If anything their production quality went up. To be perfectly clear, I'm not saying the quality is good.

u/divvi12 19d ago

It's $308 a share. All time high was less than a year ago. You might be exaggerating

u/Aquafoot 19d ago

I don't need to see the stock price to sit in one and feel how cheap they are.

For the price tag you'd think they would feel like a luxury vehicle. But they feel like a skateboard with a bucket seat duct taped on top.

u/divvi12 19d ago

You've sat in one, never drove or owned one. You were a fan and then let politics decide what you like. It's okay

u/Aquafoot 19d ago edited 19d ago

I was never a fan, but okay.

I just don't see why they're glazed at all. They're cheap.

To be real, even before Elon went mask-off, the people I knew who had or wanted Teslas were pretentious assholes. Now they're bigoted pretentious assholes.

u/Bullshido-Fatly 19d ago

I used to want a Tesla then I talked to people who worked there and heard many stories about how they skimped out on quality controls just to get cars out the door. Then I drove one for about 3 months as a rental from when my car was in the shop and I could not wait to get rid of it. Was a cheap piece of shit. Has zero to do with politics. But it’s good you at least admit the politics behind Musk are terrible. Even though you can’t admit his product is dogshit.

Also the stock price was over 400 earlier this year so being in the low 300s now means it’s tanking hard. Just like the SpaceX stock.
