yes paypal is/was evil though he sold that company and invested in telsa and founded spaceX. I have a buddy from high school who was a trucker, goes to trump rallies, hates trans people, smokes meth, loving hates C.A.R.B. and loathes green energy. He also likes to qoute this line from the simpsons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2HX5wsQVEA But get this, he took a ride in a telsa and the experience won him over. Also he went from hating Elon to I m pretty sure he would blow him now, for owning the libs. I remember the first spaceX launch and there was a thread in GBS about it. But back to telsa. Credit where credit due Tesla was able to "crash the mode" and do what the big 3 refused to do. Eh I m ranting so I ll stop but maybe the best way to put my thoughts are this if elon and kanye bought valve would you guys delete your steam accounts?

Paracausal posted:I have explicitly remember the Thai cave rescue being the point I personally soured on the guy. Not only did he try to bring down a legitimate hero, he then sued him for daring to try and clear his name. I like to think it made things worse for musk because he won the case, it made him look like a lovely and petty goliath who defeated a David (who also happened to be a hero) Also lmao I just checked and found out the diver's lawyer was Lin Wood. Who several years later joined Sydney Powell in being an insane conspiracy theorist on the trump election loss

Elon is an rear end in a top hat idiot and has always been an rear end in a top hat idiot. Hope that helps clear up any confusion for anyone mounting a weird semi-coherent defense of him.

Infinitum posted:How's that? Basically there was a small product liability team but they started getting so much work and interest in dealing with protecting against Tesla the firm has had to create a whole new department to deal with demand. E: interest is from insurers terrified by the auto driving systems but my understanding is a lot of it is actually just them falling apart on the road and causing accidents. a pipe smoking dog fucked around with this message at 10:07 on Dec 24, 2022 |

CaptainSarcastic posted:Elon is an rear end in a top hat idiot and has always been an rear end in a top hat idiot. Hope that helps clear up any confusion for anyone mounting a weird semi-coherent defense of him. Hey man, sorry Let me make a effort to be short clear and concise. 1) Elon musk is bad man. Thunderf00t and common sense sceptic have hours of videos explaining Elons Lies. 1.5) Elon musk ≠ telsa. pointing out the "good" telsa has done in the EV space (which is really the work of the people elon hired) is not defending him. 2.) applying morality to consumption ether of goods or media doesnt work because all consumption is immoral. 3) When making a purchase decision, should the morality of the people involved with the product be a factor? example I will not buy jewelry because of blood diamonds. it isnt moral. So me not buying my wife jewerly was not me being cheap it was me being moral! Telling someone not to buy a car outside of the merits of the car and their use case, but on the merits of the companies CEO/Jack rear end seems weird. Unless you wanna go down the road of moral frameworks and consumption, which again just leads to all consumption is bad. As for my tweaker friend. I m honestly impressed anything got him to move to a more greenway of thinking. But I can see how my point gets lost.

Ups_rail posted:Also if you care about climate change and the enviroment telsa is the company that made the cars, buildt the charging network, showed that the model works, and now the ICE engine companies are playing catch up because they never took EV seriously. Nissan beat them to mass market and Tesla wasn't profitable until 2020, but ok.

so blood diamonds are immoral but purposefully enriching an lying, transphobic piece is poo poo isn't? Where is the line there exactly? If there's no ethical consumption under capitalism then how can buying diamonds be bad either? Also teslas suck rear end and are designed for and marketed to rich cunts. e: oh wait it looks like you're saying that blood diamonds aren't bad either? God drat dude you've got some issues Play fucked around with this message at 10:24 on Dec 24, 2022 |

A couple of youtube channels I follow recently got hacked, and in both cases their content was deleted and replaced with Elon Musk talks about bitcoin. I think it might even been the same scam content uploaded on both channels. The channel and icon were both changed to something like "TESLA [$TSLA]" or something like that. Elon Musk has fully transformed into the man who's face you put on scams and cons and I think he deserves that.

teslas aren't good. if you want an ev like a model s but better get a polestar. if you want a utility ev, f150. the only current niche modern teslas have is the supercharger network access, that's it. if you don't have a regular long distance path that would need that, no reason to get one in tyetc202*

You're probably thinking of low cobalt batteries. Either way EV batteries last a lot longer than 3 years, modern ones have a lifespan of around 200,000-300,000 miles, and not a lot of people keep ICE cars around for that long either.

I drive a 2009 tacoma. That's had a sweet life and a toyota diesel engine I swapped in from a fj from New Zealand. Again tesla and their charging network won alot of people over. Would Ford and rivian be doing thier thing without tesla? As for feelings about tesla how is the ceo of the company is bad therefore the car is bad logical? Or the people who buy tesla s are people I don't like there for the car is bad. Now the build and finish quality is bad and it's robot brain is based on Mr magoo and might run you over or suicide you. Now that's a critizim.

Ups_rail posted:there is no ethical consumption under capitalisms. Hey you fuckin' buffoon, the point of that phrase is not "hey go nuts, your decisions don't matter." Ethical decisions can in fact be better or worse in a relative sense; while it'd be better to be able to buy a car that exploited no one's labor, it's still a good thing when you choose not to buy things from the guy who rubs elbows with out-and-vocal nazis.

I might be wrong, but based on everything I've read and heard from Tesla owners (two live across the street from me) about the cars they just seem like incredibly inconsistent vehicles. Maybe you get one that's reliable for 200k miles, or maybe you get one that's okay but the automatic wipers (why?) gently caress up as often as not, or maybe you get one where the battery blows up while you're driving 80 mph in the middle of Interstate highway traffic. Who knows?!?!?
