A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

What are politically progressive Tesla owners doing with their vehicles now that Musk is transparently in bed with the opposite end of the political spectrum? (lemmy.world)

Are people who bought Teslas, some probably for laudable climate ends, now disgusted to drive their car every day? Or are people still buying them and it's not yet hit home where their dollars are going...or other? Are people selling them due to political reasons now?

My partner and I wanted one. We test-drove a Model Y and Model 3. We were fully ready to buy one for our next vehicle. That’s changed. We are looking at other EVs now. I won’t give him my money.

2 years ago if you had asked me, I would have said probably 75% my next car would be a Tesla. Now it's near 0%. I don't say zero only because I could easily see myself buying a used one if I got it super cheap. Basically Im more cheap than I hate Elon.
