    At least if someone drives a brand-new Tesla. I can kinda sympathise a little bit with people who bought theirs a couple of years ago before Elmo’s antics became really obvious and are now struggling to get rid of it.

      I give a pass to most Tesla’s because I don’t know much about cars. The cyber dumpster drivers knew full well who he was before buying their Swasticars, and they get to see my social finger at every opportunity.

        Also, the cybertruck is objectively garbage on every front.

        It failed at its original design, it failed at its current design, it failed at range, it failed at tow capacity, and more. It is objectively the worst vehicle in the sector it’s trying to claim it is in.

        Subjectively…fuck all of it.

            No, but selling your car in about a year, after you’ve had time to prepare shouldn’t be too big if a deal, right? It’s not about boycotting, it’s about having some kind of line that you draw in the sand and say “No more”.

            Obviously you can’t do that, there no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism. Regardless, there are choices you can make. I have never will never eat a a Chick filet, for example. You have to have SOME line

                Yes yes yes, simply read the comment you replied to and you will see that I say exactly that. Just because you can’t consume ethically under capitalism, doesn’t mean that you should just say “Fuck it” and do whatever.

                This feels like when people are like, “Oh, vegetarian sounds good, but I could never. I simply love bacon too much” and then I inevitably say, “Okay, so why don’t you try vegetarian+bacon then?”

                Ethics aren’t binary.

          Selling a Tesla to another owner solves nothing, now you have a new owner you are hounding to sell it

              The next person could unwitting buy it not knowing the elon Nazi thing. I think you over estimate the general publics awareness of what goes on.

              It solves nothing. Future sales should be the target.
