    in which universe do you guys come from? this testla hickup is fucking pathetic. what else was there aside from nissan leaf? tesla hauled the battery transition singlehandedly. this anti-musk kneejerk complex that you guys cooked up is so detached from industry history. any idea what the bev climate was like in 2006?

      Why are you rushing to defend a capitalist? He's an internet grifter who found himself the center of a tax loophole completely by accident. Tesla makes its money by printing carbon-tax credits and selling them to traditional auto-manufacturers. Or at least it did. Now it's stripping copper from its factories just to inflate profits.

      What was anti Musk circlejerky about the above comment? As for the industry, an electric car does as much damage as a plugin hybrid. Tesla making expensive electric car isn't something to be proud of. Big manufacturers will eclipse Tesla soon. As for Tesla's poor built quality, only a blind man would say that they are well built for their price.

      The post you're replying to is literally just stating a bunch of facts, don't know what you're getting angry about. Build quality on Tesla vehicles is indeed shit, they do catch on fire quite a lot, their use of software is laughable at best, dangerous at worst and that's regardless of whether the CEO of the company is a dickhead. Even though I'll admit they're pretty fast and shiny, for coffins.

      this comment was reported for being musk stan but i'll leave it up so we can laugh at you. lol
