as the Tesla is a remarkable car. My son bought one years ago and loves it, but now knowing what he does about Elon Musk, he would never buy one again. He said that if he'd known what a jerk Musk was back then, he would have gone with a different brand.

When it was time to buy a second vehicle, he went with a Rivian.
