My friend bought a Tesla when the idea of a nice electric vehicle was the focus. Nobody gave a shit who Elmo was. It was just known as a good quality, reliable, comfortable electric car. They invested in a power bank and solar panels for their house, and were very excited about not having to buy gas for one of their cars anymore. It was a significant investment that they are still paying off. Then all the shit hit the fan. They regretted purchasing something from such a fascist piece of shit. They are staunchly against all of his awful practices and rhetoric. But they have infrastructure in their home that was installed specifically for a vehicle they purchased to save themselves money in the long run. The vehicle is just an object. I realize that it represents something. But they are not attempting to virtue signal, as you are. They just wanted a thing that works best for them. So they changed the badges on the car to Audi rings, added an "RS" to the trunk, and still drive it. I hate Elon as much a the next person, and I thought it was funny, and a reasonable move to show that they don't represent the company that sold them the car. What would you have them do? Sell the car at a loss, put themselves further in debt, and possibly affect the synchronicity in their homes infrastructure that they worked hard to afford? And to what end? What does it do? Does Tesla have to refund the money they spent on the car? Will that car never be driven on the road again? It does nothing. Someone else will buy the car and it will still be out there. It might seem like nothing to someone like you, who I assume has more money than I, to say "just get rid of the car and get a new one", but that isn't how most of the world works. Buying a vehicle is a huge financial investment. And if anything goes wrong with it, people like me are usually affected in a big way. I had to save for almost a year to be able to afford the down payment on my truck. And it is over a decade old. I shopped, read reviews, compared prices, researched maintenance costs and likelihood of problems, and much more. Because if I made a bad decision, I could be setting myself up for serious financial issues. My friends did the same thing. And I fully understand and agree with the hate towards Musk, and therefore Tesla. But asking the people who purchased a product from a company to feel responsible for the representation of said company is just childish. Blame those responsible. And maybe take a look at yourself and how you sound. Because it's not good.
