Are people still driving Tesla’s?

[EddyF]

There was a time in my area (London) where every other car driven was a Tesla, including quite a few Ubers I used to order. Now, there are hardly any (I am not saying people don’t drive them anymore). Has anyone else noticed this?

Elon is so unlikable to me including his face. I don’t even think he is ‘smart’ as Trump/his supporters likes to call him. I will admit I did love the cars when I didn’t know much about him. Now, I can’t stand the cars as they just remind me of the awful Elon.

I'm sure they have.

And that's fine if you find it objectionable.

It's the advertising it to the world that you've decided to stop doing so in a load voice on social media whilst berating others that's massively irritating and works like a marketing campaign though. It's literally the Barbara Streisand sales pitch.

More to the point, the people doing it tend to be people who would never have bought a Tesla anyway.

It's tedious.

It's to prevent people carving swastikas in your paintwork.

Don’t you?
He’s not denied it.

Yep, and we are considering a second for the household now DS2 is a driver. The new Model Y, looks great.

I don't give a fuck about Musk one way or the other.

Anyone damaging our property can look forward to a punch in the face, we are not all quiet law abiding citizens.

Exactly. The easiest thing would’ve been to come out and state he is not a nazi and despises everything they stand for, yet he did not.

why wouldn’t he be a nazi? Loads of people are. Even the ones who don’t do salutes in front of the world

No matter how much you dislike someone that you don’t even know, it’s never okay to vandalise someone else’s property. Elon’s not gonna be living on cheap noodles anytime soon but the people whose car you’ve damaged will suffer.

The losers doing it are now famous since they’re too stupid to realise they’re on camera.

Which area are you at @simpledeer

The only Teslas I see are when I get an Uber.

They are all clogging up the middle lane of the M5 doing 60mph! (And the other ev’s) no annoying, just stay in the left hand lane unless overtaking just like the law says!!!

I’m still driving one - I have a lease for another 2.5 years. Now wishing it wasn’t so but here we are. I don’t spend too much time worrying about it and there are loads around here.

Of course you did 🤔🙄🥱
I'm in Staffordshire and have heard no such thing 🤣

Had ours 3 years. Still loving it. It's a fab car.

Yes. Yes they are. And you know they are because you have seen people driving them. Mine dates from 2021 and I am comfortable with the fact I haven't been pumping petrol into the air for the past 4 years. How about you, OP?

If someone bought me a Tesla I'd happily drive it.

Hopefully you aren’t proud of this

Car burst into flames in the village and stopped traffic. Police ordered us to close windows. This was last year. Apart from that I honestly even seen one apart from on TV.

They’re mainly company cars around here (Cornwall). Loads around.

Shedloads of them around here. I judge each and every driver.

Byd electric cars are way better than Tesla's, and cheaper too.

In what way is it effective?

I sometimes think I live in a different reality to some of you.

Depends. If people don’t buy then as used cars then residual values will fall and people want want to invest in them especially as there are so many EV choices now.

I absolutely would not buy one now. No way no how.

Says a lot about you

???
maybe they had nothing to do with each other

Elon Musk just bankrolled Tesla, did he not?

He had nothing to do with the design or innovative thought behind it.

The company was already making the cars when he got involved.

But yes, company has suffered terribly lately, and a lot of it is to do with the publics perception of him.

Calm down dear!

Teslas have become the New Audi and BMW in many ways.

And they developed a reputation for being driven by people who were arrogant, thought they owned the road, were inconsiderate and didn't use indicators who wanted a status symbol so I think that 'boycott Tesla', is actually going to appeal to that target demographic rather than deter sales...
