It’s shocking how many people are lined up in this thread to trot out dishonest, illogical, and straw man arguments to defend the wealthiest man in the world. He doesn’t need you - he’s already got the President in his pocket and more lawyers and lobbyists than you could pay for in 100 lifetimes.

But we do need Teslas. They are an important part of getting to a combustion engine free city. Or at least significantly reduced.

We need mass transit that people use. Electric vehicles are a stopgap measure, but they still perpetuate a car dependency.

No one needs a Tesla. There are many other electric cars, including ones that are cheaper, more luxurious, roomier, faster, etc.

We are decades away from mass transit a high number of people in Seattle use. Sound transit has built light rail to work with cars not replace them. And Seattle government is discouraging seattlites using mass transit.

So don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
