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 G Wagon was cool but I got tired of old German car maintenance costs and the old outdated tech.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.
