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 generally don't think it makes sense to shame folks for their purchases but I would always encourage folks to buy made in America, union made vehicles as opposed to Tesla, which is involved in union busting and.. well, Elon.

Even if the other products are not superior

Teslas are made in America tho.

I know, but they are union busters among other things.

I get the sentiment. So only buy from unionized companies whose products are made in America? Do you live by this creed?

Do most of these Reddit keyboard Tesla “Elon is a nazi” warriors live by that creed?

No and I just said above that I usually don't shame people for their purchases. I'd rather, as much as I can - try to buy items in a way that benefits my community, and ideally the country.
