    I just feel bad for people who went in during Elon’s “good” years (heavy quotations). He’s nothing but a glorified car salesman and a verified idiot now, but for a while there, some people just wanted a more sustainable car.

      Yeah it was legitimately the only viable EV when I got one. I still love the car but am absolutely embarrassed by it because of that asshole.

          Poorly worded on my part. I genuinely oppose everything Elon Musk stands for, so it’s more like cognitive dissonance than embarrassment.

          Android was never the only player in the cell phone OS market. Tesla was the only player in the EV market until last year more or less
