Musk's deranged "anti-woke" and racial obsessions[0], combined onto the huge quality problems I regularly see pop up online, plus the never ending "full self driving by the end of the year" sideshow all turned me off Tesla. A unserious CEO leading an unserious company, selling an expensive and potentially lethal machine. I don't want to drive a car whose safety features change weekly with whatever Musk tweets out.

Maybe a few years back before COVID I would have been a Tesla customer. Instead I opted for an EV from a traditional manufacturer. Great quality and drive, it suits me just fine, even if the software isn't the most advanced.

[0]Funny to me that the anti-woke reactionaries are way more obsessed with race and gender then almost any left wingers I have known. They build up these social media scarecrows of what is "woke" to rile themselves up.

Tesla problems get multiple orders of magnitude of attention than any other manufacturer.

German EVs with the possible exception of BMW are highly unreliable with a lot of problems. You will not hear that from the news but you will from a VW mechanic.
