Honestly people should just get rid of them. Ignoring all the other reasons why for a moment.... Just takes one software update to fuck up your car.

The poor build quality could also get you in a bind.

Elon always was a crazy lying sack of shit, look at videos of his from 10-15 years ago

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Elon hadn't fully committed to his right-wing heel turn in 2013 when the model S arrived in the Canadian market. Back then he was far less forthcoming with his opinions in general and was largely known as a leader for the promotion and advancement electric car technology, rockets, and PayPal.

It wasn't until 2018 that he tweeted about the British cave diver being a pedo after helping rescue 12 trapped boys in Thailand, and became a lot more public with his "based takes" from then forward.

It's easy to say with hindsight that the evidence was always there, but there was a time (not that long ago) when he wasn't in our news cycle everyday. And when he was in the news back then, it was generally for more positive reasons.

None of this is a defense of Elon. I deleted my twitter accounts the day he bought it. But I have sympathy for people who made a purchase decision for car that should last them a decade+, especially if they felt they were doing it for the right reasons, who now regret it given whose pockets they've lined in the process and wouldn't chose to do it again now.

"I bought this before Elon went crazy"

Everyone should be embarrassed to use or own anything attached to that facist racist Nazi maga piece of shit.

They bought it in the 80s? I'm curious about their time machine.
