Stop buying Teslas [View all]

If you want to send a message, you need to stop buying teslas. Do you remember when republicans were calling out stores like Target for being woke and then Target removed a lot of their pride week stuff a week later. We need to punish ceos and companies for their support of Trump and his ideology. Tesla is probably going to get huge tax credits now which will make then tempting to buy, but you need to resist. Switch to gm or ford if you are set on buying an EV. What good is a healthy climate without a healthy culture?
