CEO of Tesla and acting President-elect Musk is going on a neo-Nazi binge endorsing far right candidates instead of properly running the companies he’s involved in such as Tesla.

In addition Tesla is considered one of the most unreliable car brands according to: https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-placed-bottom-consumer-reports-reliability-rankings/

Moreover Tesla has the highest fatal accident rates of all car brands according to: https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a62919131/tesla-has-highest-fatal-accident-rate-of-all-auto-brands-study/

Also there are privacy implications with using a car that could in theory spy on you: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/05/massive-trove-of-tesla-files-contains-thousands-of-safety-complaints/

Now that more competent and establish brands are making EVs there’s no reason to buy a Tesla if you want an EV. I’m not here to recommend another brand, I’m just here to tell you that your next EV should be anything other than a Tesla.

    can visit https://www.reddit.com/r/Ioniq5/ and you’ll see

    so far i’ve seen older models are vulnerable to being easy to steal, smaller 12v battery drain issue if you don’t drive the car for a bit, the even older models have a water coolant recall, etc

      I think non-full ICE cars in general have a big 12v drain if not driven for a while. My 2018 Prius does this and it’s just a mild hybrid.

        yep was surprising to see, one guy mentioned he didn’t drive it for a full week and it got drained and required a jump start :/
