    Did any of them have stickers like “I bought this before Elon became a Nazi?”

    My friend bought such a sticker for her car in Australia.

      If it forces people to stop financially supporting Musk it might actually be a net positive for the environment.

    I don’t understand the support for this. How is it that someone who’s bought what was - for years! - the best EV available, is getting in the crossfire of musk hate?

      Well it’s one thing if you bought it a decade ago, before we all realized how much of an ass he is. It’s quite another if you bought it after the reality came out.

      I say this as someone that owns Starlink equipment, though the service is currently paused, with no plans to unpause it (since we can no longer work remotely, Elon). Unfortunately, Starlink is essentially the only option for remote internet service, but there are a lot of different vehicle options.

    Current German government: “oh no, we’ll get right on cracking down on that. Yes.”

    Kinda strange that Tesla advertises them as electric vehicles when they burn so much gasoline. In my opinion, they should be fined for false advertising.
