Conservatives need to quit hating on Tesla
This is my opinion of course, but I ask...
Who, besides Trump, has done more for conservatives in the last 8 years than Elon Musk? He's not even a conservative but what he did with Twitter to expose the swamp and allow the truth to be seen can't be understated. He exposed more proof of the deep state than Trump did. All made possible by that battery powered car that conservatives love to hate. Let the hate and debate rage |

I certainly don't hate Tesla or Musk. I hate the .gov trying to force us to choose EVs, but that's not Tesla's or Musk's fault.

As stated, most in here think Musk is a patriot, a good dood, but evS are BS, not what we are told, and are certainly NOT going to save our planet.
The big issue is we are being asked to abandon the second greatest invention that man has given us, the ICE. First greatest invention is scotch, I hope you all knew that!! |

Musk is our modern day Henry Ford. I think he is a strange dude but I have big respect because he is a doer.

This is like that whole Kelce/Taylor thing. All the libs think, for some reason, that I give a Flying F about any of that. Who "hates" Tesla?
Libs have gone to complaining about cons for things that don't exist outside of their own little Starbuck's circle. Being outraged at being gaslighted or trolled. And they think that they're the smart ones |

Quite a bit, plus I had an SUV that got about 12 miles to the gallon in town and 18 on the hwy and burned premium. In 2021-22 my monthly has bill for the wife and I was about 7-800.
My Caddy gets 180-200mpg in town and 36mpg on the highway. |

I am invested heavily in $TSLA and continue to stack on dips like today.

Musk seems to be a good dude, i don't care one way or another about Tesla. If I was going to buy an EV it would be a tesla, figured they have bugs worked out and ahead of the game. |

I firmly believe that most who hate have never driven one. It's not a perfect car for everything, but in central FL a 2020+ Model S will get you almost anywhere you're going to go for a one day round trip without charging.

A racing friend of mine had Tesla approach him for a review of the truck.
He lives in SoCal, so finding charging locations was not an issue. His assessment is that it tows capably for a standard trailer. The range sucks. Maybe 150 miles between charges. He got to use the truck for a week or so. So for me, it's cool, but no more useful than my C8. |

We can appreciate him for his innovations, furthering free speech, and for investing (mostly) his own money in the process, but still criticize him for his rent seeking and questionable claims about helping the environment while mining rare earth metals and blasting a rocket into space once a week.

I think the competition and innovation is amazing, the torque they put out is incredible. what I have an issue with is threatening my choice on what to drive while killing the ICE industry, force this shit down our throats is the problem. the gov needs to quit playing ****ing games with our lives
