            Tesla is a phenomenal car. The best electric on the market.

              Tesla has serious quality control issues. They have serious design issues like being deliberately obtuse in the name of “innovation”. They haven’t made any significant improvements to any of their cars since the launch.

              Most importantly, they have serious leadership issues. Particularly, a long history of deception and broken promises.

              Musk was in the right place at the right time to launch Tesla. He’s got a pretty good corner on the battery market, and hopefully he doesn’t abuse that.

                Quality is universally true. The only issue I’ve had is some paint issues. The paint is 100% garbage.

                Innovation ? They’ve had plenty. The octovalve is a perfect example.

          Electric cars don’t help save the planet, they help save the car industry.

          Walkable / bikeable cities, and better public transit are better.

        I’m part of the cause by driving electric and running solar? Please elaborate.

            I vote for my own interest but thanks for the advice.

            Neither party has a viable solution for climate change. I think the democrats is worse than the republicans.

            Also you don’t understand wealth. If Elon converted his wealth to cash, he’d no longer be at Tesla, space x, boring, etc. that wealth is the value of those companies.

            Personally I’d like to see him take a step back from Tesla before he runs it into the ground but I doubt he will.

              You think the Republicans (drill baby, drill) have a better answer than Democrats (subsidize Green energy)…

          Oh well gee I stand corrected. You’re a paragon of climate conscientiousness. I will not take anyone who posts articles from Fox News seriously. Actually in any matter come to think of it.
