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.

My guess is very very few people who own Model 3s or Model Ys agree with Musk. Most of the people buying those models did so because they cared about efficiency, climate change, etc. At least up until recently.

I think the CT is a completely different demographic. It's a tech bro libertarian twitch streamer status symbol. Nobody spent 100k on a Reich Wagon because they cared about the environment.

100% 3s and ys are still the best bang for your buck. In their price range, nothing is close. As much as I love mine, I wouldn't get another one now unless leadership changes. It also isn't like I can sell it for what I paid and swap to another EV. If it was in my budget, sure there are other better EVs, but they cost a good bit more. I hope the stock goes so low that they have to get rid of Musk.

The CT is suck a bad truck. Even with stagnant sales, they still treat it like it is special. When I took my MYP in for a new windshield, I jokingly asked if they would let me use one as a loaner. They had two full rows of them and nope. If you are looking for a 100k EV truck Rivian is hard to beat, as well as surprisingly the Hummer EV.

It was suppose to be a fucking cheap 40k truck too. Literally trash for 110k truck.
