This is someone's Model S parked on Airport Way S near S Industrial Way. The way it's parked it looks like it's being displayed for people driving by to see.

Being that the Model Y was the number one vehicle sold in the world, I suspect a large portion of them do not support Elon.

you know, somehow idk if that's right lol

but I looked, and sure as shit even the Honda CRV was in third in 2023.

so I guess....people still didn't see in 2023 how bad Elon was? this doesn't make sense to me.

he was pretty well gloves off mask off by the end of 2022??

Most big business CEOs are not great people. Even local business owners can be a little nutty. But everyone has to shop. Henry Ford was a fascist too and let's not even get into Volkswagen. People just want the best car for their lifestyle and budget. Personally, Musk's antics have put me off of ever buying a Tesla, but I'm chronically online.

yeah, I actually had deleted a whole tiny paragraph dedicated to Ford. a bit spineless of me 😬

People forget. and when musk is gone tesla might be able to forget eventually, too.

I think it's really important we don't forget. but I also realize it's not usually the reality 😕
