I, for one, definitely won't be buying another Tesla as long as Naziboy Musk has anything to do with the company.

Yeah, million mile cars are rare, obviously. But to claim it's reliable when you have to replace that much shit to get there is nonsense. It's well known that they have issues making them unusable and cost ineffective in the long run.

I'm absolutely for effective EVs but I'm not going to suck the dick of a company that does so poorly, while sucking on the government teat and act like that's a company we need. We don't need 8,000 lb vehicles that'll do 0-60 in 3 seconds.

Then you must be a Tesla fan? Tesla’s made for EV vehicles have always been much lighter than legacy manufacturers first attempts at converting their ice cars to EV. My model Y is half that weight, and the biggest “car” style is the model X at 5,200 pounds

And your model y is still twice the weight of my mx-5 will have double the depreciation, and won't make it the 220-250 k miles without major repairs as mine. Who made the better choice?

Great. Miata’s are fun little cars. I wasn’t aware there was an EV version
