Earlier this year, Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk promised he wouldn't be giving any money to either Donald Trump or Joe Biden.Musk sounded adamant, tweeting, on March 6, "Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for U.S. President."But Musk later changed his mind, reportedly d...

But Musk later changed his mind, reportedly donating $45 million a month of his money to the pro-Trump political action committee American PAC.

`Nuff said. CEOs are often Republican, but to be this outspokenly political is normally a bad thing for CEOs like Musk. Media company heads (and Twitter/X is a media company) are supposed to at least pretend to be neutral.

And catering to the far-right seems like a bad idea if your company makes EVs. But what do I know?

The reason to not buy a Tesla is that now they are simply bad cars, and there's too many good pure electric options to even consider a Tesla nowadays.

Tech wise, a Lucid Air blows a Tesla out of the water.

Driving wise, a Porsche Taycan handles like a Porsche, a Tesla handles like a Camry.

There are way too many other examples to list.

Camry won't just fall apart though. Someone I know also came out entirely unscathed after decimating both his camry and a semi with loaded double trailer. The thing even still drove and he was able to get it off the road but one wheel was bent up and off the ground. I doubt a Tesla of any generation can do that. From what I remember gen one at least didn't seem very camry like either. I had this feeling like something was off even though the mad force of accelerating was pretty impressive.
