[News] Tesla Takedown 29 March

[nicko31]

Musk is a tragic figure. The bloke is clearly a genius but he's f&&king it all up, and for what?

Take Starlink, its a truly brilliant system. But for governments to trust using it you need strong corporate governance, imagine handing over secure communications to Musk now.

Should have done a Microsoft and played a straight bat and largely stayed out of politics

What have WE done? Like a number of Tesla owners, we bought well before it was clear that Musk was such an arse, and hope people can realise that normal owners of them don't agree at all with the behaviour and politics of the bloke who bought his way into ownership of the make.

It's too late for all that contrition now.
We've had paediatricians attacked, mistaken for paedophiles, Sikhs attacked because they were mistaken for Muslims, age old statues toppled into rivers amongst plenty of other violent mob driven shenanigans.
Never underestimate British collective intelligence.

I genuinely feel for Tesla owners.......slightly.

Absolutely. Anyone giving existing Tesla drivers a hard time - or worse still vandalising their cars, are absolute pricks. The drivers have done nothing wrong and should not be made to feel as though they have.

Targeting the show-rooms, and thus Musk's future sales and company value, is a very different thing altogether, and a whole lot easier to rationalise.

One word: "whoosh!"

Sorry?

My post was not in response to yours - it was general comment about the entirely irrational negative attention that Tesla drivers ARE currently experiencing.

My mistake Hans. Apologies. Happy to be banned for a while

The Musk paradox - his genius lies in persuading people that he is a genius

I think the only solution is for Tesla owners to display their V5 in the window so we can all see when they purchased their Tesla.

 

[Chicken Run]

Does anybody else look at people in Teslas in a different way now? I mutter stuff under my breath all the time.

No i ignore them, especially if they’re nudging forward at a junction in the hope that i have a brain fart and let them out

Part of me, the Schadenfreude bit, is enjoying Tesla's discomfort but I'm also aware that Tesla dealerships are (I'm presuming anyway) privately owned, even family-owned franchise businesses just like any other car dealership. So any attacks are likely to take down a bunch of innocent livelihoods along with giving Musk's sales and production figures a bit of a bruising. I'm conflicted.

Indeed. I'm not sure whether protests against Tesla are going to affect Musk in any way. It will ruin plenty of normal people's lives though.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Excuse me “bummed out”

This is my new meaning for bummed out

 

[Marshy]

Musk wont give a shit, he really won't.

Would i buy a tesla...NO but not because of anything to do with him.

He is a genius i have no doubt about it.

Do i think he should stick to rockets and cars, probably.

There are plenty of stickers available

 

[Algernon]

There's an easy resolution.
You need
1/A hairdryer
2/Alternative car marque badge

And you can have a TeslAudi or a Tesla Civic.

 

[Cheggers]

I'm outside Boots right now protesting about their sale of aftershave.

 

[LamieRobertson]

I suppose if you can put all the well paid Tesla workers out of work it can only mean more work for the slave labourers in China. If that's a good thing?

Surely the same people will be busy protesting outside the Chinese Embassy …oh hang on thats not trendy

Unlike anything he's doing for his buddy at the moment.

Electric, but not Tesla, as it goes.

(Audi)
