    That’s assuming a lot. I wanted a car that was fast, electric, had easy charging, good range, and didn’t cost $100,000. 5 years ago, that was a Model 3.

    Didn’t give a shit about Musk’s lies, always knew he was full of it and was a typical scumbag CEO; I did not peg him as someone to go full on Nazi mode.

      If you knew then that he was a liar, then I really don’t see how you can complain about it now. You evidently knew which business you were getting into.

            Considering said Wikipedia entry did not exist 5 years ago, when I mentioned the prior requirements of mine that were met at the time, that wouldn’t have helped me much at the time. Seems pretty convenient for current prospective buyers as of the article’s publishing, 3 years ago.

            Regardless, to reiterate, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, but I’m sure you’ve never consumed a product from a company that’s committed any form of fraud or other unethical act.

            Having said all of this, please do not take what I’m saying here as support for Tesla, Elon, or unethical corporate practices in general. There is no way in hell I would buy a Tesla as of now, and I do indeed try to limit my consumption from companies I disagree with on moral and ethical grounds.

            Call me ignorant at the time of purchase, if you want, I suppose.
