Great news, everyone! Turns out being a full fucking Nazi isn’t good for business.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 12 points 3 hours ago

Just a free clue to fElon - the problem is not the head of North America sales, LOL.

Sadly i think this would be due to cheaper chinese companies competing? We got a shit load a cheap chinese electric cars on the market over here and you dont really see Teslas anymore

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Probably not as this is talking about North America, where Chinese electric cars are still not widely available. It's most likely due to Elon, cyber truck, and US relations with Canada.

The best part of that incident was how so many people didn't think it was an attack, just "Yeah, that seems like something a cybertruck would do."

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 7 points 3 hours ago

Honestly it was coin flip odds.

Tesla needs to build an electric bus, to throw random execs under whenever Musk “pulls a Nazi.”

[–] Paranoidfactoid@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago

Tesla has manufacturing quality problems. I'd rather a Japanese or Korean EV.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 39 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Sure. Let's fire the salesman. It's all his fault. Something smells musky here.

PSA: musk is a fascist and Nazi. Buying cars from Tesla directly supports him and thus all the terrible things he does. There are lots of much better electric cars if that’s what you want

Edit: I sure kicked a hornets nest saying maybe not buy from the fascist. To be clear: almost every car manufacturer has EVs now, multiple models. If you can’t find one of those that’s good deal and just have to buy Tesla, maybe you just really want a Tesla idk. If you want the ‘good deal’ I highly doubt Tesla really stacks up, but the best deal as always will be buying something used.

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I’d buy Chinese if I could, but I can’t. Chinese cars are the only cars that are as high of quality, and I’m absolutely pissed that that is the reality.
