      I’m in the EV market right now, looking for a good commuter car, and Tesla went from my #1 spot to one of the last options. It’s amazing how well he tanked that whole business. Luckily there’s a ton of competition cheaters now

        A conservative was talking at me a few weeks ago about how much he loved how Musk was pissing off the libs and about how he’s a shrewd businessman. I asked if he would buy a Tesla and he said never. He didn’t have a response when I told him Musk doesn’t sound like a good businessman.

        What is at the top of your list? I’m leaning towards the Ford Mach E with awd but have only looked deeply at half of what is available. Tesla is at the bottom of my list also

          Mach e is up there. Currently number one spot is the Hyundai ioniq 6, it looks like a direct competitor to the model 3. Nissan leaf and I think Honda are in the running too. Idk gotta start test driving to really know. I’ll still test drive a model 3, but from what I hear and see I probably won’t go for it

            The Ioniqs are absolutely sexy vehicles, they’re at the top of my list too!

              Yeah Hyundai in general recently has knocked it out of the park with their design language and the ioniqs are some of the best in their lineup

                I just need them to make the N Vision 74 happen, and I’m 100% on board.

            My friend bought a 22 leaf last year and from what I know, she loves it. It definitely took some getting used to! We still normally take my car on road trips, though.

            I was in the same boat as you having the Tesla be my dream car until all this Twitter shit hit the fan. My roommate has an Ioniq 5 which I liked so much I got an Ioniq 6 as soon as it came out. I absolutely love it.

            Man those Ioniqs look so good in person too. I’m considering buying one for my wife next year, if I can convince her to get ride of her beloved Prius

          I’ve had my Mach-E GT for two years now and it’s been very reliable and very comfortable. There were a couple of small hiccups early on, but I can’t see going back to non-electric cars. Would definitely buy it again!

          My parents got a 2021 Mach E and they love it. I’ve driven it a few times. I’m eyeing one for my next car too, though I’ve also been interested in Hyundai’s offerings. I’ve never wanted a Hyundai in my life but their new EV lineup looks pretty compelling.

        Did you see they are cutting cost by removing all right-side driver cars from production and still selling in those markets with an included reaching arm for things like badging in? Hilarious.

          Just include a reaching leg thingy as well then you can drive from the right side too. Musk, if you do this I will sue you for “cheating”.

        He chose to get cocky right when competition caught up

        I honestly don’t get it.

        Why is his (mis) management of Twitter a factor in your car choice?

        Not to say he’s a good guy or a genius or anything in the Elon musk circle jerk, but the CEOs of the other car companies are not angels last time I checked.

        They’re just more private about being dickheads.

        I’ll soon be in the market for an electric car, and I’ll look at Tesla’s on their own merits, not at the last screech if a man child complaining about the very system that got him stupidly rich.

        Idk, from what I heard he barely spends his time with Tesla these days due to being preoccupied with twitter 😂

      What grinds my gears the most is that every fucking manufacturer sucks at software and usability so hard it hurts every time. I rather have bad UX than bow to this moron though.
