Default MAGA is embracing Tesla



I will most likely have a Tesla in the next month.

nothing wrong with that, as long as you get a choice. I do have an issue with the previous administration forcing things on us

I can't even begin to imagine buying a car based on the politics of it... either good or bad.

It’s certainly bigger buy-in than going to Chick Fil A when the left was boycotting them.

However, stop and consider the “buy American” car guys who refuse to buy a Toyota etc….It’s not really any different. Isn’t a Tesla the most American car there is? It’s patriotic

EV mandates are water under the bridge, just like Biden himself.

I have absolutely no desire to own an electric car. But if I did want to buy one, Tesla would not be my first choice.

Does it now come with Complimentary knee pads?

I really do not have a problem with Tesla although I have poked fun at it in the past. My son has one and he seems to like it.

Like some others have said, you're buying a car for political purposes and to show that by doing this, you're a patriot?

Agreeing with Snide, If I were to go full electric which will never happen, Tesla is not on the list.

I don’t want Tesla or any EV.
But I think it is awesome that many are buying Tesla in support of Musk. The man is a billzillionair and one of the smartest people alive, and he’s working for us at zero cost. Pretty big commitment from him. And he’s actually put his life in danger in process.

Does it mean anything in the big picture, probably not.
But you gotta love how it triggers the leftists loons

1. That is definitely something you’re only brave enough to say sitting behind a computer.

2. You stated you make $60k per year, you can’t afford a Tesla so the rest is just more of your stupid blather on here.

Honestly? I don't get it. Pissing someone else off doesn't even begin to hit the list of things that motivate me to do something.
