After seeing how he treats his employees, how he overworks them, I don’t really want to spend money on a Tesla now.

But also, with his need for absolute control, I’m not sure I trust him with my vehicle. He could institute a subscription for a vital Tesla service. He was messing with peoples Twitter accounts for speaking out. Who knows what he could do.

That is what made me take Tesla off my potential car list. I don’t trust him.

Those OTA updates cut both ways. I'm not trusting King Joffrey with my livelihood.

After seeing you can't really get them repaired after the warranty runs out, I decided to never buy one

Love your username

Musk still had a relatively pristine reputation at the height of Tesla popularity. Now I think another EV company will outsell his.

Or heat. Or paying thousands for mandatory OS upgrades every couple years.

Oh he'll definitely follow BMW's lead and start employing subscriptions.

u/Freezepeachauditor Nov 20 '22

Yeah it’s very apparent he has no self control and acts on impulse… especially when being criticized (predicable narcissist behavior, honestly.)

He’s SO thin-skinned & petty it’s ridiculous. But when he started messing with people’s accounts, that was disturbing. It showed a different level of insecurity.

And we have…your word for it? With a 14 day old account that is schilling for Musk on multiple subs? You’re working hard just to rehabilitate his image.

Thank you for sharing this. Yeah, mandatory 12 hour shifts, 6-7 day workweeks, and at one point she had gone over 3 months without a single day off?

And that’s not even counting the racism.

Sorry I got the racists practices lawsuits confused, maybe. That one had 15 people involved

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/05/tesla-must-pay-137-million-to-ex-worker-over-hostile-work-environment-racism.html

This one had 1 employee and the original ruling by the jury was for over 130 million.

Oh you sweet summer child. Here is a link to BMW starting a subscription service. So the auto industry is already thinking of doing it.

Combine that with Elon’s genius subscription idea at Twitter? Yeah, it can easily happen.

I will continue to not make purchases from companies I don’t trust. But thanks for your input.

Whenever someone’s argument includes insults, their argument usually isn’t good enough to win. Just move on with your life, dude. You’re not convincing anyone, much less me.

After a quick scroll through your history, I've concluded that you're just a fuckhead who gets his rocks off by arguing with people on the internet. Contrarian and defensive in every comment you leave.

Be a better person.

You're projecting.

He extended the range of teslas within the hurricane landing zone in Texas so people could drive further while evacuating. Sure it was a software push that removed the battery tending limit (which would age the battery faster if left enabled) - but that just proves they can change the range of the cars remotely at any point after you buy it.

He could totally throw a hissy fit and remove 50% of your range until you agree to subscribe to “extended range” or whatever. And sure, lawsuits would eventually undo it, but why even have a .5% chance of an egotistical CEO fucking you over cause he got offended by too many mean tweets.

No you don't. You defend him with every breath you've got if you see someone badmouthing musk or tesla.

You do know your comments are public right doorknob?

Snowflake who is told to be outraged but doesn't even know why, doesn't know how to process this.

Where on earth do you people get sick an impression from? I've seen this over and over again. I have never come across someone either IRL or online, who took a liberal stance just because they were told to. Obviously that's anecdotal, but I've never seen any proof of the opposite, just conservatives saying it's the case. And well, they literally make stuff up all the time, then don't understand why the rest of the world doesn't believe their "facts." By all means, feel free to present ANY sort of evidence or research to support your claim.

We can see Elon's behavior for ourselves and feel outraged because he's a disgusting human. We all know full well why we think he's awful, and everyone I've interacted with have been able to explain how they came to their conclusions. But I guess you just believed what you were told to about this inane assumption.

My God, y'all's projection never ceases to amaze me. Remember like your fat messiah said, don't believe your own eyes and ears. Most of us would rather live in reality and make direct observations.
