I may no longer be welcomed here at DU.

[Ninga]

I’ve owned a Tesla since Jan 4, 2021.
I am not, in the spirit of Sheryl Crow, going to sell it.
The name calling I’ve read here via the proxy of Tesla ownership, how crappy it is etc etc, sends the loud and clear message that quite clearly any Tesla owner is a status seeking musk loving idiot.
The car I drive has nothing to do with how I vote.
Mr Ninga suggests I change my screen name to Ilovemytesla. He just gives me heartburn.

[Prairie Gates]

1. Oh no

[Ninga]

2. I know.

[recovering_democrat]

101. welcome

you and others who don't agree with me on any subject at any time are always welcome as well as I am concerned. We learn more and more about a lot of things when we pay attention to people we might otherwise agree or disagree with. That is appropriate!

[LeftInTX]

3. They are very expensive to buy and difficult to sell anyway.

I probably would not throw away $80,000!
I remember when it was a "liberal thing" to own one and how Texas forbid Tesla dealers. All that changed when Musk went to the dark side.
Now it's flip-flopped. It's not your fault!

[nolabear]

4. My son owns one as well. He loves it.

Yes he bought it in the before times. But he’s a fine man and drives for a living. We’re in the PNW and there are many of them here, as there are lots of tech people and they like them. Happily he’s not been given any grief.

[Ocelot II]

5. I'm not going to give anyone shit for having bought a Tesla before 2024.

If you like it, far be it from me to conclude anything about you personally. I know a couple who have one, which is several years old, and they love it. Fine. However, if you were to go out and buy a cybertruck, that would be another matter, and I think I'd be justified for calling any buyer of that thing a moron.

[MissB]

6. Eh, it's fine.

I don’t look down on my liberal coworkers that own them. They made the choice awhile ago, like you.

I think most adults can separate the car from the guy.

Unless you own a cyber truck and then I’ll judge you foreverrrrrrr.

[Ninga]

11. Never would consider it! But you hit on the

operative word-“adults” -

[bif]

7. Both my daughter and SOL own one.

They bought them couple years ago.I know what you mean about getting tired of the rants. I'm a NYT reader and get sick of the shaming I constantly see about that. Don't get me started!

[Ninga]

9. I understand. I don't want to get you started!

[LAS14]

8. As my mother used to say, "Sticks and stones may break your bones...

...but names will never hurt you."

Ignore the idiots.

[CentralMass]

10. Own and drive what you want. I wont touch a Tesla product.

[Ninga]

15. Henry Ford was Hitler's friend. I refused to buy

Ford products. So I too had reasons.

[CentralMass]

22. Henry Ford was the CEO of Ford until 1945 and he died in '47. They have had different leadership for 80 yrs.

[Ninga]

26. Yes that's true. But in 1960 it was just 13 years

removed from his death and WwII had not quite faded. My Dad a strong union man, spoke often enough about Henry and the damage he tried to do that it took a long time to fade

[CentralMass]

40. Is Musk different ?

[Ninga]

46. He's equally and maybe worse

[cksmithy]

68. According to my husband, started his career in late 1960's as a mechanic,

Ford meant "fix or repair daily." Another old mechanic saying for a Ford was "fucking old recycled dodge."

[ybbor]

69. Found on road dead

[cksmithy]

71. He said, "Heard that one too."

[cksmithy]

99. Heard that one too, funny.

[Rebl2]

91. My

Dad always had ford cars. His brother drove Chrysler I think. My uncle would joke about fords fix or repair daily. The two fords I drove always had problems and so did my Pontiac’s. Don’t drive either now-don’t drive at all actually.

[cksmithy]

102. Sorry you can't drive anymore.

Husband finally bought an used Ford 150 pick up in the 1990's. He drove it for 20 years, was thinking about selling it, someone knocked on our door, offering to buy it. He bought a 25 year old truck, even after we told him all about the problems that needed to be fixed. Thanks for your story.

[yagotme]

98. "This is Chevy country."

"On a quiet day, you can hear a Ford rust..."

[cksmithy]

104. Funny,

husband laughed out loud about hearing a car rust.

[yagotme]

112. Has to be really, really quiet, though.

The parts breaking and falling off sometimes overshadows the sound of the rusting...

[SalviaBlue]

43. Well, with that in mind

You must admit, your choice to buy a Tesla was an unfortunate… given what we now know about Elon the Nazi. Ah well, 20/20 hindsight, blah blah blah.

I don’t judge Tesla drivers but I do get the urge to flip off a cyber truck.

[LisaM]

64. I have a friend who owns a Tesla, nice guy.

Last edited Sun Feb 16, 2025, 07:22 PM - Edit history (1)

His brother worked for Tesla but got laid off a couple of years ago in a mass layoff.

However, we have known about Musk and who he was long before 2024. His antics with Twitter, the way he callously got rid of his long time assistant, his misogyny, the relationship he has with his children and partners, his weird attitude about having zillions of kids, and the way he accused the cave rescuer of pedophilia - it's all been there. None of it is new.

[SalviaBlue]

75. This is true.

[electric_blue68]

76. I didn't know about all that. And forgot it was he who had...

made those accusations.

[LisaM]

79. He's creeped me out forever.

Most of the CEOs of tech companies seem to be jerks (remember Travis Kvalnick?)

Before, his influence on my existence was just limited to giving a wide berth to Teslas in case they blew up, but now it's having an actual effect on my life (most of the tech companies do - Amazon has done in retail, Uber killed off cab companies for the most part, Airbnb has destroyed the housing market and created higher rents), but up to now, I could avoid him unless I was out stargazing and had to deal with the train of Starlink satellites and its light pollution.

We need to be wary of these guys. They are not conservative. They're Randian Libertarians, which is far more dangerous.

[electric_blue68]

82. Oh, hadn't thought about that re Star gazing (which I'd do if....

I could afford a cool telescope even in the city I know a fairly easy to acess a less light filled area.
Though one exciting thing was having my first digital camera with a ?12xs Opitical, and ?40xs Digital zoom.
While it wasn't as close as a decades back friend's telescope that showed us a 1/20th zoom, or more view of the Moon - I could see craters, sides lit, and shadowed! 🥰

[LisaM]

92. Astronomers have been complaining about it for a while.

I am not an astronomer or even close, but I have the SkyView app and spend some time in a place with virtually no light pollution. My nephew and I were out looking at stars one night and there they were, they looked like boxcars going up and spoiled the experience.

But real astronomers have more of a beef.

[electric_blue68]

94. Got it. How nice you get to do that, even w the visual anoyance

[Renew Deal]

12. I wouldn't worry about it

[Silent Type]

13. Read the other day that Tesla stockholders are looking at suing Musk for ruining the brand. I wouldn't sell either.

[HereForTheParty]

14. So why publicize the fact you own one?

[Ninga]

21. Because when the OP's rightly critical of Musk

start to morph into car bashing and equate tesla ownership as evil. I don’t want to hide.

[EdmondDantes_]

28. A learning opportunity for those who can't think past their rants

Why would someone talk about being fat when they keep reading rants calling Trump fat? Maybe it will help someone realize that the simple reasoning employed in ranting that anyone with a Tesla is a monster isn't useful or accurate.

[Tommy Carcetti]

16. I mean, I'm still stuck on Twitter.

Mainly because navigating over to Bluesky feels like too much of a hassle with lost follows and what not. And honestly it feels a bit too like an echo chamber there…I need a bit of conflict.

I just wish Twitter was sold and didn’t suck so much as a platform, that’s all.

[LeftInTX]

27. I'm on twitter, facebook, bluesky, google....

Bluesky is not the same as twitter anyway. I rarely post on twitter, but it's great for breaking news. (I don't post on BlueSky either, I just have the account to follow people who dropped twitter for bluesky)

Been on FB forever.

Just a few weeks ago, I found out that google is bad. But I've been with Google for 25 years! Threw yahoo in the trash decades ago!
Been with Chrome browser for about 10 years. Dumped Internet Explorer around 2009 and went with firefox. Then, I had both Firefox and Chrome for awhile, then Firefox got real buggy and been with Chrome since. I've also got gmail for mass mailings because I can't afford constant contact and can't figure out mail chimp. I use Google docs and use Google Drive all the time too. I share alot of documents because we do team work. The Texas Democratic Party does everything via Google Docs.

[birdographer]

44. Well, gee, if we are making confessions...

We live in a small, rural southern town. Up until about a year ago or so, we had only one internet connection choice—the local ISP. Their servers were full and people moving here were dismayed to discover they had no internet options. The lines were not maintained. Our speed averaged 1.24 mbps. Streaming was iffy. Photos emailed from friends loaded like back in dial-up days.

And then Starlink became available. We got it (he was still just your average billionaire moron at the time). Our speed now varies from about 60 mbps to in the 90’s. It is highly reliable.

Here’s how I see our dumping it as a way to separate ourselves from Musk:

1. We would no longer be paying a little over $100 a month to someone with many hundreds of billions of dollars. Wow, that would show him a thing or two; and
2. We would have an internet speed of 1.24 mbps again and all the limitations that brings.

I think maybe I won’t cut off my nose to spite my face.

[rasputin1952]

17. The ownership of a vehicle, does not a person make...

You are who you are. You are concerned about the environment, and most likely, you purchased it before this idiocy.

I own a Ford, not the best purchase I ever made, but I am not an anti-semite nor bigot like Ford was.

We are family, we do not indulge in "Thanksgiving Dinners" here (well, except on Thanksgiving). Your property is yours.

My only suggestion would be to avoid the Self-Driving mode, we'd like you to stick around for a while.

[Ninga]

23. Don't have self driving. Never wanted. And yes

to your thoughts about our initial reasons to purchase.

[JoseBalow]

18. It's easy to rationalize supporting Nazis

It's much more difficult to be slightly inconvenienced.

[Easterncedar]

19. You're good. Selling it now can't hurt Musk.

Surely there’s some fun to be had with bumper stickers, tho.

[doubleplusgood]

20. I've had a Model Y since 2021

Overall, its been a great car, the instant accelerration of an EV is great when you need it. I've driven it on several 1000+ mile road trips and have had few problems charging it up. The Tesla supercharger network is great, too, compared to all the other EV charging networks like Chargepoint, etc.

On the downside, the so-called Full Self Driving (FSD) is a major fail, and I don't think it will ever be ready for prime time, at least with only camera-based sensors. Also disturbing is the lack of most physical controls for climate, audio and other functions. You shouldn't be struggling with a touchscreen to work those controls while driving on the freeway.

All that aside, I will NEVER buy another Tesla, at least while Elon is involved with the company.

[mackdaddy]

24. I have a couple of close relative that have cars.

The cars are OK EV's, but do seem overpriced and very expensive to repair, but BIL and Nephew like theirs and the have short commutes so the work well for them.

The new truck looks like a real lemon though. I pity the people who bought those. A whole range of quality and operation problems.

I don't own one, or really could afford one, but If I did I would just get one of the bumper stickers:

"I BOUGHT THIS BEFORE WE KNEW ELON WAS CRAZY".

[Lunabell]

25. No. You're welcome here.

Just, please, don't buy another one any time soon.

[Ninga]

29. Will not.

[Lunabell]

36. That was a joke.

Those things cost a lot!! If you truly like them, buy them. I'll never fault you for any choice you make as far as what you drive. At least its not a hummer or a noisy as fuck dualy!!

[EYESORE 9001]

30. Your car ownership doesn't perturb me whatsoever

I cannot say the same for the company that makes it, however. Not that I’ve checked, but I imagine the market for used teslas is a bit soft at the moment anyway. In such a situation, it’s important to ensure availability of aftermarket parts.

[NewHendoLib]

31. Your choice. We are in bizarre times. Drive it if you love it.

[Bigerhalf]

32. Bumper sticker suggestion - My other cars a POS too !

Funny

[Scrivener7]

33. I live in an apartment. People here have told me that's worse than living out of a shopping cart.

So, people can be assholes.

I'm not about to let that chase me away if I want to be here.

[Niagara]

51. Members here on DU told you that apartment living is

worse than living out of a shopping cart, Scrivener7?

[Scrivener7]

86. Yep. It was in a thread on the climate benefits of high density housing.

One said that. Others said equally ridiculous things about it.

Lots of DUers have some REALLY asinine opinions about high density housing.

[Niagara]

89. I'm sorry that you had those asinine opinions directed at you

Some people have no idea what it's like actually being homeless.

At least you have a stable and safe shelter to call home.

[Scrivener7]

90. Meh. I don't care. I have a beautiful home

in a wonderful building full of good friends.

People will think what they'll think.

But thank you for the kind post.

[LisaM]

93. I live in an apartment and one of my biggest wishes is to get out.

It's not stable. The rent goes up (a lot) most years, and it's hard to get outside just for a walk. Most of the new apartments they are building are not meant to be for long term housing. They are studios or one bedroom. You can't raise a family or even live with someone else.

Sometimes I look at the way apartments used to be, much more gracious, with separate living spaces and built-ins, and I wonder how we got to where we think it's okay to cram people so close together, with no green space, and charge them preposterous amounts of money to live that way!

[Niagara]

95. I lived in an apartment in the late 90's

I worked 2nd shift which was more like 3rd shift hours. The rest of the apartment residents worked first shift and all the apartment maintenance was done during the day (when I was trying to sleep).


When I first moved in, they didn't tell me that they were going to put on a new roof. So my first few weeks I got woken up at 8am.


When maintenance would check the furnace or filter or whatever else, they would wake me up.


When I worked normal hours I got off work at 1am, when I worked mandated overtime I got off work at 4am.


The parking rules were one vehicle could park in front of the building and the other car could park across from the building for each apartment resident. When I got off work either at 1am or 4am, there were zero parking spaces for my vehicle and I had to park in front of a entirely different numbered apartment building and carried my 2 year old son in the dark and long distance to my apartment.

I know, I've been there. It didn't take me long to apply for a FMHA mortgage and get approved.


However, it was for a very brief time but I was homeless as well.

So I understand both situations and know that neither as desirable.

When I went through a divorce much later in life around 2012. I couldn't believe that rent was about $600 to $700 a month and I didn't make that much to pay that much. I ended up applying and getting approved for a section 8 apartment. The building and the upkeep of the section 8 apartment was nice but most of the residents were terrible and loud.

It's still much better than being homeless. It's also much better than being in an abusive marriage as well.

[Scrivener7]

107. Mine is a co-op in a neighborhood of historic buildings built in the 20s.

There's a park across the street, good noise control, and my ownership keeps the costs reasonable.

[LisaM]

108. That sounds lovely.

That would be difficult if not impossible to find in Seattle.

[Scrivener7]

109. Yes. This is NY.

[senseandsensibility]

53. What an odd thing to say

Doesn't even make sense, besides being rude.

[Scrivener7]

87. I agree!

[Deep State Witch]

34. The Second-Hand Market Has Tanked Anyway

Might as well hold on to it.

[tulipsandroses]

35. I doubt anyone here would not welcome you. If you said you bought it recently, that's a different story

There was a time that owning a Tesla was not just a car purchase, but a way of doing good in the world. As someone else mentioned on another thread, years ago, it was the only " viable" EV. That is no longer the case. There are other EVs on the market to choose from if someone wants to buy an EV.
. When it comes to the status issue- I think folks are referring to the horrendous cyber truck that just screams "look at me, look at me" and not in a good way.

[Voltaire2]

37. 2018 M3 here. In my defense, this was pre-nazi musk.

When I bought the car he was an oddball (colonizing mars) who was doing some good things (tesla, spaceEx.) In 2018 there were no other EVs that were at all competitive with the 3.

Shortly after I bought it he had his notorious Thai Cave Rescue Meltdown, and I started to suspect that he was more than just odd.

Since then it has all been downhill with Musk.

I like my car. I can't afford to sell it right now. I won't be buying another tesla unless Musk is no longer associated with the company. I feel quite uncomfortable about the car.

[Ninga]

41. I get it. I like ve my car. After deducting home

charging costs vs gas @ mpg I figure we’ve saved a conservative amount of $15,000 over.
4 1/4 years
Only out of pocket have been 1 time for tires, a 12volt and yearly brake cleaning.
She’s been a loyal and dependable and very fun to drive ride.

[bigtree]

38. I hope Canada puts the 100% tariff on Tesla they talked about yesterday

...but, no, what you drive has nothing to do with anything.

[andym]

39. You can contribute, put on bumper sticker: "Tesla bought before Musk went NAZI, would not buy again. Please dont buy!"

That way you can proudly keep your car and do a public service.

[True Dough]

49. Could do

But it depends on OP's ability to handle MAGAt knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers who will surely make her life miserable at times based on said bumper sticker.

[WarGamer]

42. I've always said... I won't allow the aura of Elon to spoil the success of SpaceX and Tesla

Musk has no direct involvement in either.

He's never programmed the FSD computer... he's never put pen to paper for rocket engine design...

He's a figurehead.

And even though his "net worth on paper" goes up in value...

Musk doesn't TAKE VERY MUCH money out of his stake

Judge Tesla cars compared to the competition... value and performance, range and being the most "Made in the USA" brand isn't bad

[beaglelover]

45. I'm currently on my second Tesla model 3. I do really like the car and it's fun to drive, but I will NOT

get another Tesla unless Musk is no longer associtated with Tesla. Thankfully, there are other great EVs out there now so when my lease is up next year, I'll lease one of those.

[stonecutter357]

47. LOL WTF !

[Skittles]

78. I know, right?

WTF

[LetMyPeopleVote]

48. The only people I know have sold their Teslas

You are free to make your own decision. I am enjoying the protests at Tesla dealerships

Tesla stores and charging stations are now protest hotspots!

Turns out, unelected Elon Musk and his fake government agency, DOGE, aren’t sitting well with folks watching democracy get gutted.

dealership and stood in the freezing drizzle with others yesterday.
I didn’t enjoy myself because the weather was damn inconvenient. But Musk Must Go

[Ken Mosul]

52. Keep it. Enjoy it. Drive it.

People buying them years ago and this weekend typically have the same idea - environmental consciousness.

[GreenWave]

54. I notice Tesla getting rave reviews on car and driver sites.

including the butt ugly Tesla truck. Maybe $ talks.

[ProfessorGAC]

65. That's A Bit "Squishy"

Who gives bad reviews on a car & driver site for a vehicle that they spent $80k on? Admitting an $80,000 mistake is a rare occurrence.
And, who gives really bad reviews on a car they're driving for free when getting those cars for free is linked to their job security?
I don't find reviews on such sites particularly compelling.

[Evolve Dammit]

55. Very efficient and not judging. Still don't like Hummer owners though.... You could always put a Harris/Walz sticker on!

[relayerbob]

56. We looked at them long before the current Musk garbage

They were very poorly constructed, obvious misaligned panels, screwy software features, uncomfortable seats, and numerous other issues. And this was a showroom model, which usually are chosen to be among the best. So, you can drive what you want, myu opinion of Tesla's was, and shall remain, that they are grossly overpriced crap.

[GiqueCee]

57. Maybe you'll reconsider...

... when the bloody thing catches fire. I hope you're not in it when it does. Notice I said "when", not "if".
Folks are calling them "Swasticars" for a reason.

[Vogon_Glory]

58. I'm not going to dump on you because you own a Tesla

I presume that you already owned it before Musk’s politics and his alignment with Orange Julius came out. It would be hypocricy on my part to do since I drive an internal-combustion SUV that uses gasoline (petroleum produced by corporations that made big contributions to Orange Julius and other Republican politicians).

Now I might not be quite so understanding if your Tesla gets totaled after I post this and you go to a Tesla dealer and buy a new one now that Elon’s politics and behavior has become apparent, but that’s another matter.

[Turbineguy]

59. In the grand scheme of things, an electric car is more efficient energy-wise.

[Hekate]

60. My niece & her husband own a Tesla car. They love it. I don't discuss it with them...

Because I don’t talk about cars for recreation.

The thing is, my attitude toward cars is strictly utilitarian and always has been. I do my pre-shopping research in Consumer Reports. Face it — I am counter-culture. And old. All the gadgetry intimidates me.

I’m glad you found something you like, though. Stick around — this, too, shall pass.

[Lithos]

61. Not a problem

It's like owning my Harry Potter books.

I have already given her my money, but I will not give her a penny more. I realize car ownership involves maintenance which is not the same, but the spirit..

Peace!

L-

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

62. How much does a Tesla cost in the first place?

And why on god's green earth would anyone pay that kind of money for a car?

I know I'm weird, but I have NEVER understood having a car payment, not paying cash for your car in the first place.

I despise debt, and have avoided it most of my life.

Oh, and aside from the obscene cost, remind me of how wonderful a Tesla is, and how one could possibly make more sense than, say, a 2017 Honda Civic. Paid for in cash.

[CoopersDad]

97. $27,000 after incentives.

Paid for in cash.

The Civic needs perpetual care, oil changes, timing chain replacements, lube, and refills with fossil fuel.

A Tesla or other EV needs tires, wiper blades, washer fluid.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

100. $18,000 cash for my 2017 Honda Fit.

It does NOT need perpetual care. An oil change every fifteen to twenty thousand miles. Yes, that's right. 15-20 thousand miles. Don't know when I've ever had a timing chain replaced.

Cost of gas is trivial for me, since I drive very little and am right now getting gas once every six weeks or so. Unless I make a cross-country trip, which I do less of these days.

[RussellCattle]

63. If everyone drove a Tesla, the air would be a lot cleaner, no? What's the problem. Please ignore any protestations....

67. Dear God! Don't let this get to you one bit. I've been a member for 22 years, and if I cancelled every subscription,

stopped shopping at all the establishments that I "shouldn't be shopping at" and stopped buying all the products people on this forum think I shouldn't buy, I would probably own nothing and be even more ill-informed than I am. That said, I am a bit judgey when it comes to stupid shit like Cybertrucks.

[surfered]

70. You did nothing wrong. EVs are environmentally friendly.

And you bought the car before he became a menace.

[maxrandb]

72. You do you

but there are also consequences to the decisions we all make. I am guessing that, in 2021, the "face of Tesla" wasn't a fascist giving "Sieg Heil" salutes all over the place and changing his "handle" to "Hairy Bolz".

In 2025, he is.

Like it or not, some are going to have a visceral reaction to what has become a symbol of American Fascism.

Instead of being upset with folks on DU, maybe concentrate your frustration at the shareholders and board of directors of Tesla. They are not required to keep Musk as the "face of Tesla".

It's not like people are pissed at an inanimate object.

Keep the Tesla...Lose the Musk

[flvegan]

73. It's not that you're not welcomed, obviously

by the responses in this thread. There are a number of proud Tesla owners here.

You may not FEEL welcome, however, when Musk/Tesla is the topic. I mean, sorry the guy synonymous with your car brand is a nazi and all.

[Ninga]

105. Thank you. I appreciate your thoughtful response.

I never thought owning a car would lead to this.

[Meadowoak]

80. I actually love Tesla's, and I fully intended to buy one. But

That's before I knew what musk is all about. Nope, no way in hell, now. There are other EVs. And I won't be buying anything so long as Trump is there. My car is only 5 years old, so, I'll just make it last.
