Also in America. Here in California I know several people that sold their Tesla because of lonE skuM and many more who wouldn’t buy because of him. I myself have told Tesla recruiters in two occasions that I’d never work for that piece of shit

Recruiters??!?!!?!

Why in the world would he possibly need to recruit people:

  • To come live in abject fear of his every whim?
  • To be expected to work 24 hours a day seven days a week?
  • To not be able to have a family?

All the best talent will be lining up for some of that!!!!

At this point having Tesla on your résumé means you couldn’t do better.

"yes, i would like to relocate and dedicate my life to a company that might fire the entire team just because one day the CEO snorted too much ketamine"

I was in the market for an EV shortly after he took over twitter. I ruled Tesla out because I do not want to be seen to support that douche in any way.

I actually bought my Tesla about a year before he took over Twitter. The supercharger network has proven itself on a few long trips, which is the main reason I’m holding onto it for now.

I can pretty much guarantee that my next car will be an EV but definitely not a Tesla. Since virtually all EV manufacturers have announced support for J3400 in the next few years I figure there will be a handful of decent options for me to choose from in 5-10 years.

They're certainly massively ahead of the competition with their charging network, I won't argue with that. I'm fortunate enough that I can charge at home and that's pretty much all I have ever done. I have not needed to do a cross-country road trip.

I'm one. When he moved Tesla engineers to work on Twitter and then went on an unhinged anti-Trans rant in the middle of an earnings call, I shopped around and traded in my model 3. I always assumed the major selling point of a Tesla was the software, but he keeps fucking with the people who make it.

I think a lot of it was the charging network. What happened with that again? Oh yeah. He fired that whole team.
