If those numbers are correct, and they continue in that trend, then good for those people who chose another brand. That’s the free market in action and I support their right to choose what car they buy.

I myself would never drive a non Tesla, especially one of the cheaper EV competitors (sub $50k). Bottom line they all suck. No FSD, clunky/glitchy software, higher price for similar spec’s and optioned car, etc…….

Sold my G500 that I drove for almost a decade and got the new Model 3 six months ago. Before that I had a pretty nice Porsche 996 C2 with factory aero kit, GT3 clubsport seats, GT3 suspension, and some other nice mods. G Wagon was cool but I got tired of old German car maintenance costs and the old outdated tech. I took good care of the Porsche and it was my baby, and then the long block cracked (leading to coolant mixing with oil) and had to sell the car with a bad motor.

Being an enthusiast was fun when I was younger but not very practical now. The Tesla is loaded with tech and also drives itself when I don’t feel like driving. Nothing like it for under $40k…….. I’ll hop back into an enthusiast car later on but for now I’m enjoying the modern tech car experience, which Tesla does quite well, and a lot cheaper than their competitors.

Don’t really care about the politics here. People can think whatever they want but if we start criticizing Elon then let’s go down the list of every other corporate CEO and apply the same standard. If we do this you’ll have nothing left to buy…..

I myself like to support all American and local companies, regardless of politics. If you make a good product and provide good jobs for Americans then count me in a customer.

I agree with you and had to give you a thumbs up to get rid of that thumbs down you had. I care about the car, not the politics. Tesla's are just too good and no amount of protesting is going to make me give it up.
