Electric car buyers don’t like right-wing politics. This means Elon Musk’s position at Tesla is very vulnerable and susceptible to economic pressure.

    How to spot a fascist:

    This is what they will drive:

    Someone who owns an older Tesla model is probably someone who regrets their purcharse today. But someone who shows up in a 2025 Tesla knew exactly who they gave their money to.

    Make of that what you will. Me, I reckon it’s worth learning your Teslas because people truly are what they drive in this particular instance. There’s no doubt about these particular year / models.

      They are all so fucking ugly. Why can’t this guy sign off on a good looking car?! I’m not even being bias, I really think they look either boring, or like a literal dumpster.

      Are these all AI generated?

      That’s not what the Y or the S look like. Also the cybertruck doesn’t have door handles.

      tesla.com. Do your research. Takes 10 seconds.

      Edit: and for what it’s worth, outside of the Plaid Model S that has a slightly wider wheelbase, the Model S hasn’t changed appearance since 2017 or so, and the Model X has looked the same since launch in 2016 afaik.

      Don’t exclude. There are definitely some self important people driving older Teslas, too. A lot of previous BMW drivers made the switch years ago for image reasons.
