The president threw Elon Musk a lifeline with an event, livestreamed on X, where he touted the cars and said he would buy one.

    President Musk told his employee to do a photoshoot.

    This story makes no sense any other way.

    I yelled at my phone when I saw this.

    He said “oh wow! The whole thing is a computer!” like cars haven’t been like that for YEARS now.

    The I go on Facebook for some reason (I am in a rural area) and I am seeing people talking about buying teslas in the local community pages. These people are not people that couldn’t afford a used Mitsubishi Mirage…

      Worse, Teslas are designed like computer software rather than cars, which is why they are so dangerous and terrible, as software development processes are absolutely horrible for things that actually matter, especially when compared to existing vehicle engineering principles.

      I feel dirty cross-linking to that other place but check out how/where they locate the brake lines. A nice convenient rust-prone place, only accessible by removing the battery. Apparently the design has become even shittier since.

    Keep boycotting, and join protests outside Tesla showrooms. ~60% of Musk’s wealth is in Tesla shares. Tank the stock and tank his wealth and thus influence

    There are protests all across the US and starting to spring up in other countries. Here’s a list of upcoming ones + a guide to help organize one around you if none exist

    😂 what a waste. I doubt this even moves the needle on public perception. Rednecks aren’t buying these things only well off urban Republicans. I can’t think many leftists give a shit about these things. They may be fast, but they have no class.

      especially considering how restricted by range and chargers people are subject to in more rural areas.

      Partially true. It moves the perception against Tesla, xelon & president felon. Sales will drop further.

    Presidents (present nor former) are not allowed to drive vehicles.

      On public highways. I remember they made a fairly big point of Dubya driving a pickup truck while visiting his ranch in Texas.

    Because of ethical restraints it is extremely rare for a senior government official, let alone a sitting president, to endorse a consumer product so explicitly.

    Yeah… Those were good times.
