Why are people giving Elon Musk their money?? It is beyond bizarre. There are plenty of alternatives out there without having to buy a Tesla!

What do you recommend for someone who long hauls with a roof box?

Also, Musk only owns 20% of Tesla now.

No one has to buy a Tesla. Plenty of folks do however. They choose to. I'm on my third, a 2022 model 3.

Same reason people still give Mercedes their money after screwing Irish companies over with their false service maintenance contracts.

VW after their emissions scandals Mia selling to customers.

People buy what they like. Not what you like.

The same reason I have a snickers in my lunchbox yet my wife has a dairy milk. Life choices.

People buying iPhones when the kids making them were jumping off the roofs of the buildings they were produced in.

VW falsified emissions.

Clothing manufacturers paying close to nothing to Indian people to make their products.

We in the western world turn our glance at a lot of things to keep us accustomed to the lifestyles we live.

But isn't he single-handedly saving the planet by altruistically advancing our transition to carbon emissions free, modes of transport? EVs, hyperloops, solar generation, grid level battery backup etc., etc., etc.

Oh, & spaceships 😍

Talk about creating a Troll cave, what place has this on an EV forum?
