Electric car buyers don’t like right-wing politics. This means Elon Musk’s position at Tesla is very vulnerable and susceptible to economic pressure.

    How to spot a fascist:

    This is what they will drive:

    Someone who owns an older Tesla model is probably someone who regrets their purcharse today. But someone who shows up in a 2025 Tesla knew exactly who they gave their money to.

    Make of that what you will. Me, I reckon it’s worth learning your Teslas because people truly are what they drive in this particular instance. There’s no doubt about these particular year / models.

      They are all so fucking ugly. Why can’t this guy sign off on a good looking car?! I’m not even being bias, I really think they look either boring, or like a literal dumpster.

      Don’t exclude. There are definitely some self important people driving older Teslas, too. A lot of previous BMW drivers made the switch years ago for image reasons.

    I’m poor af and couldn’t even afford a good second hand car at the moment. Last month I spent a bunch of money and a lot of time at a mate who has a car lift to fix up my car. The costs to get it fixed at a garage would have been triple and it wouldn’t pass MOT if I didn’t fix it.

    But I’ll be sure not to buy any Teslas
