  • I had a 1st edition ID.4 and miss it so much, been waiting for the ID.7 but I don’t think they’re bringing that to the US anymore. TBH it’s a lot of car, too much for me anyway. Never had many issues with the ID.4 that VW didn’t cover, but I sold it because it was having some issues with the displays shutting off on hot days. Big safety concern, and I still don’t know if they ever came up with a fix.

    Gone are the days of smaller cars. If they sold the ID.3 here I’d buy it instantly.

    I don’t think people are trying to change minds anymore.

    Yeah, I can see that. Both in online forums as well as with any kind of brand discussion, EV or otherwise. Everyone’s mind is made up already.

    But using fear to force your political views has another word: Terrorism. I can’t believe that to be the right path forward either, and I don’t think that’ll stop alt-rights or Tesla devotees. It’ll just widen the divide even more.

    I would love for Lucid and Polestar to put out more affordable models. Ford, Toyota and Chevrolet have been taking real half-measures in the EV space, and have been donating a LOT of money to the GOP in recent years so I don’t want to give them my business either. It’s hard finding a lesser evil when most of the competition is involved closely with the fossil fuel industry.

    My sibling has a Nissan Leaf and loves it, but those are really showing their age now.

    Yep something I wasn’t sure was a thing until I experienced a small taste of it today. That’s one of the reasons I feel strongly about it. Harassing me for the loaner I got does nothing to dissuade legit Tesla owners. It just pisses me off and makes me feel like I made a mistake in a situation I had no direct control over.

    Vandalizing a Tesla does nothing but put more money in Tesla’s pockets for the repair costs, and potentially fuck yourself over with vandalism charges.

    We’re in a class war, and our beef is with them, and specifically in this case, Elon’s exploitation of the current Administration to dismantle the government. So why the fuck are we still vilifying each other over their actions?

    Yep you got me, I desperately wanted the first loaner to have a fucked up tire and for the shop to not have anything else when I asked for something different, resulting in having a loaner I fucking hate, because I secretly wanted it and hoped it would happen that way.

    Harassing people for their choices does not convince them of anything other than you’re an asshole, vandalizing their property (especially property that has cameras everywhere and records you doing so) just requires them to give Tesla more money to fix it, which completely invalidates your reason for doing so. Like when Republicans boycott a product by buying the product and destroying it.

    I genuinely hope more people stay away from Teslas, they’re dogshit and their Nazi-ass owner shouldn’t be supported. But I’m also not inclined to fuck over other people’s shit about it. Fuck me, I guess.

    $80k? My loaner is not worth that much, even brand new. It’s not a special model or anything.

    No reasonable person is chasing after poor sods with old loaners to vandalize.

    I got harassed today for my loaner, the same day I got it. How are people supposed to separate those with loaners from those with their own vehicle and vandalize accordingly?

    How about don’t support nazis.

    I wholeheartedly agree. You still shouldn’t vandalize other people’s shit.

    Property isn’t sacred, but how about we just don’t vandalize property because we don’t know everyone’s situation?

    If my loaner gets vandalized I’m not going to hate Elon any more. I’m going to be pissed off that now I have to deal with that bullshit because some asshole decided to make a statement I never needed.

    Vandalism.

    Would you like to explain to the dealership that gave me a shitty old loaner Tesla why you decided to vandalize their property and make me have to deal with it through my insurance?

    Don’t vandalize other people’s shit. You don’t know what their situation is. Golden rule, motherfucker.
