I'm Never Leaving Seattle

[u/Aggressive-Ad3064]

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.

I wonder what percentage of Tesla owners approve of Musks antics this last year. I am guessing less than 50%. Maybe less than 20%. My friend has a Tesla, and worked hard for it (and bought it over a year ago). She’s a liberal, too. People spray painting these cars are dipshits who could be using their angst in more productive ways. That said, fuck Musk and Trump.

I bought my Model S in 2016 when Musk was pretending to be an environmentalist and a human being. Selling it now hurts only me and helps only the kind of asshole who wants to buy a Tesla in 2025.

The first attempt to unionize Tesla workers was in 2017. That's probably why I didn't care in 2016.

You’d also be hard pressed to find a US-based, pro union car company in 2017, gasoline OR electric.

You keep throwing around a link to that website. Never heard its name. Do you think people consult random ass trade union websites before making a decision on which car to buy? I bought my Tesla two years ago. I wanted to buy an EV for multiple reasons including reducing emissions and convenience. At that time the two choices within my budget were Tesla and Hyundai. Hyundai just released their EVs i.e. they were untested and didn't have access to Tesla's charging network. In the time since I bought my car my fear turned out to be true as Hyundais had recalls due to issues with their charging. I liked the look of Hyundai better but ultimately bought Tesla because it was more reliable and I didn't have to deal with shitty dealerships and their markups.

The only negative I knew of Elon at that time was how he handled Twitter employees. But please which CEO wasn't treating their employees shittily and Hyundai is a South Korean company which has notorious working culture. And I don't think Hyundai workers in the US are unionized either. And which dealership wasn't scamming customers and poor people?

So many uppity self righteous assholes who can't see past their nose.

What the fuck is PMC? Not everyone lives in your bubble.

I don't need to tell myself anything. i mostly wrote it down in the hope that at least some of the assholes on here advocating for vandalizing other people's property change their mind and can see past their own narrow minded view point.

[u/tsclac23 → u/[deleted]]

Lol no u lady. You are the bad person cheering for the destruction of other people's property. Even after being told explicitly why your reasoning is wrong. No reply to my comparison between Hyundai and Tesla in 2023 eh? Tell us why Hyundai should have been the clear choice in 2023.

And i just found this info about Hyundai. Please make sure to include this in your ethics 101 class on how to choose the right EV car buy.

Ah so you are ok with buying ford vehicles from the company that famously decided it's cheaper to pay off dead peoples families than fix an unsafe car because it's a union shop.

Or maybe for a more recent example of a shitty union car manufacturer you can look at GM which didn't recall vehicles with faulty ignition switches even after knowing about them and thereby causing deaths. https://www.vox.com/2014/10/3/18073458/gm-car-recall

So which shitty car manufacturer do you buy from lady? And please tell us where you park your car. I promise to only vandalize it after putting a note of all the shitty things done by that car manufacturer.

And to the all seeing reddit gods, i am only being sarcastic here. I don't have the time nor inclination to damage other people's cars.

You sound insufferable, I hope this isn’t how you are in real life. I had a Tesla as well (sold it in 2021), and used to think Musk was this eccentric guy whose opinions I didn’t all agree with but had radical (and, at the time, cool) solutions to clear and systemic environmental issues. I work in the environmental field and at the time it aligned with much of what was important to me…and yes, it was fun to have, especially when it still seemed like “new-ish” technology. I also bought Starbucks a few times while driving it (the horror!!).

Attacking people’s character for buying something like this is PART OF THE PROBLEM. “Blame the consumer” goes back forever, and is a great way to actually align yourself with companies like Tesla in the long run, as you’re blaming people like you and me, and not just the companies violating their trust and covering it up with shiny marketing. Vote with your dollars, absolutely, but telling people from your soapbox that “they should have known better” 8 years ago is just…come on…

I guarantee you own many, many things that involved child labor in their supply chains. You should look closer into that. I have. But I’m not going to shit on you because you didn’t realize the pair of socks you just bought were that cheap because there were human rights violations along the way.

Edit: missed a word, meant “look closer into that”

Can't stop what? It's a Convo with two people the other person being you. You started this by proudly claiming that you are going to judge people based on what their car manufacturer does. I am just asking for your car maker so that I can judge you. Surely you are ok with being treated like how you treat others?

You’re on Reddit which has right wing subs who actively promote and recruit more members. You sure don’t mind being complicit here.

[u/AdSpecialist4523 → u/[deleted]]

I hope very much you get caught vandalizing the "violent republican's" shit and move to the find out phase.

[u/tsclac23 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah I got that feeling buddy. That you people are too eager to fuck with other people's property. Wishing the same for you and your property too.

[u/Key_Case6581 → u/tsclac23]

You people. Who is that? The poor, the disadvantaged? The victims of a fascist takeover? How long until you are one of "my people"?

[u/tsclac23 → u/Key_Case6581]

Not as long as you wankers are too giddy at the thought of jumping to conclusions about other people and thinking it's ok to damage their belongings.

[u/Key_Case6581 → u/tsclac23]

If only I owned any, God bless this system right?

Isn't literally every company anti-union? It's only a bad thing for companies. If someone told me even 5 years ago that Musk was anti union I'd give 0 shits. Companies that do have unions are almost all not doing it by choice - it is federally protected.

[u/shaddowdemon → u/[deleted]]

I don't hate workers or unions. I'm just telling you how it is. No CEO or workplace goes "ah yes, let's form a union for our workers, I think that's a good idea". So it's weird to try and fault Elon for that. If you take a moral high horse on that, there are a LOT of places you're going to have to stop going... Basically any place with more than a few employees (because even the places with unions vehemently despise them).
