31. I'm on my second Tesla lease and it will be my last. I will not support the company any longer if Musk is in charge.

It's a shame because the cars are pretty great, but as others have stated, these days there are great alternatives to Tesla. Sure, the charging networks available to the others is not as great as Tesla's network, but the Tesla network is slowly being opened to other brands. I also don't do long trips in my Tesla so being able to charge at home is all that I need. I could NEVER go back to an ICE car after driving an EV since 2020.
