Tesla owners are expressing buyer’s remorse - if not by selling their Teslas, then at least with an apologetic bumper sticker.

“Bought this Tesla before Elon Musk became a huge asshole. Sorry”

wait, Tesla didn’t exist back then

Electric cars are still cars, and therefore do fuck-all to fix the real problem of excessive use of land for parking lots, low-density zoning, and lack of walkability.

The only way to have communities that are healthy and sustainable (ecologically, financially, or otherwise) is to fix the zoning code so that folks don't need to drive in the first place.

I remember when Teslas used to be cool.

Now I see them all the time, and they might as well swap the badge for one that says “cunt”, it would be less embarrassing.

Extra frustrating because even though Musk is associated wholesale with Tesla, he is not actually a founder.

Yet another example of the rich running shit into the ground with poor decisions.

But ultimately, according to the survey, most Tesla owners plan to buy a Tesla again.

Lol

No one cares about the rich assholes who own other car companies, so why Tesla? For example Toyota were some of the biggest campaign donors to Trump.

Also what does this have to do with Fuck Cars? This is about the minutiae of car culture... We should be talking about trains and bicycles here.

the american urge to paste your opinions on your automobile

I would prefer they drive a Tesla than a petrol car. But if they swap to another electric car, I'll take it. I hope they advocate for better public transport links locally though.

Clicked through the first link and saw like half a dozen stickers with the only joke conservatives have ever been able to think of; "x identifies as y". Imagine thinking that's such a pinnacle of comedy that you reuse it for everything you can think of for years and years, never tiring of it.

Makes sense the people buying teslas are obsessed with what others think of them

Imagine "Twitter stuff" being your breaking point after all the bad shit Musk did. These people are the real problem.

I bought it before the twitter stuff

but you bought it well after everyone knew they were shit quality explosive deathtraps and that he was a paedophile

It's a thin shield of irony because pretty much every Tesla owner I know was already a complete douchebag before the Twitter thing.

I’m sure the resale value plummeting after the driving range bullshit was exposed probably doesn’t factor into the not selling. Right?

Lmao imagine being this big a loser you feel like apologizing to everyone because you bought a shit car

I don't hurl insults at Tesla owners. If they're dumb enough to stick to owning a car more likely to explode than a Pinto while not even having the panels line up correctly on a $40k "luxury" car, then there's no pox I could wish on them worse than what they're already signed up for.

Tesla is not a company of one person.

Edit: I get wanting to protect yourself from folks who want to take their Elon rage out on random tesla, but isn't it easier to just talk to folks about this?

Thank you for sharing the article, op.

what a patetic testament , so they brougt their fucking car (Most Pricy Class of Consumer Item ) based on them liking the hype lib train (oviously not actually a Train thats way to efficent and proven) , joyfully driving on the Smuglane ,.. now after the "X" stuff , and Elon having puplic shifted into the Chud lane , they now drive their Tesla on the Crinch highway in such paranoid hyperawareness that they put a fucking Bumperstckr on their car to Preactivly apolegize .... Never be that Pathetic ...

This is the equivalent of voting Republican, then complaining how everything is getting worse.

what is about americans and bumper stickers

Whatever. I bought a tesla because it's still the best EV when it comes to range and charging network, and during the pandemic Tesla was the only manufacturer who didnt inflate cost due to chip shortages. I dont care for Musk, but most ceo's are douches, hes just the loudest.

All this does is reveal who’s obnoxious, gullible, and stupid. How would anyone in their right mind think that pre-twitter Elon didn’t deserve to turn into a vegetable by the Zuck

it must be like licking elon's taint everytime you have to charge up

Oh come on, they had to have known how much of a weenie he was even before the twitter stuff lol.

Meh, I don't give a fuck. Best car I've ever owned and Musk can eat a diiiiiiiiiiiiick.

I was so close to getting one. What a disgrace that would have been...

"Ugh. A Ford, I know. I bought it before the nazi stuff"

Who the fuck cares. It's a tool. You don't care if the multinational corporation behind Disney World is a reprehensible child rape factory either.

This is the only time I'd accept someone calling something virtue signaling.

Because they were so great before?

My buddy sold his Y because his wife hated it and so he tells people it's because of Musk.

It wasn't because of Musk.
