His opinion of Musk, however, is not uninformed (it's based on actual things Musk has tweeted, not based on the hot takes from anti-EV or TSLAQ folks). I'll follow this post up with more on that specific aspect. Since he and I have talked about that before, I didn't want to cause a backfire effect by arguing as a Musk apologist. Instead, I took the tact that he should buy an EV that meets his needs and that makes him happy when he's driving it. Elon is an outspoken person and (right or wrong) that is going to turn some people off to products from his companies. If his feelings about Musk means he would not enjoy owning a Tesla, then he shouldn't buy a Tesla.

Tesla makes the best cars. Period. Musk makes some rather interesting comments at times, but his company isn't contributing to the deaths of over 7 million people every year. All of the legacy OEMs continue to manufacture millions of new ICE vehicles as they gradually make the transition to electric, some faster than others. Those millions of ICE vehicles will last an average of 12 years each and they will contribute to the pollution that kills over 7 million people each and every year. So, while the CEOs of GM, Ford, Toyota, or Honda may not expose their inner thinking on Twitter, we do know that their companies are major contributors to climate change, pollution that kills, and wars over oil. <br /><br />Honestly, your friend should reconsider his position re Tesla. It's by far the best choice of all EVs on the market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
