    I guess I’m trying to understand how Elon doesn’t come up at all when talking about Tesla. And I’m not sure what community you are talking about.

      I dont get why Elon should come up, outside of his goofy naming system, I dont know where his politics are pertinent to the cars he sells. The community of left side people that are always on line and make everything about identities and teams.

        You are kidding, right? First of all, Elon has spent a ton of time and money to inject himself into the zeitgeist and has styled himself as a edgelord/troll who likes to interfere in nearly every conversation where he can. To such a point where he had to buy a platform to further this end. He’s essentially the face for Tesla, and people that buy that product almost have to know it.

        And someone that is going to make the second biggest purchase that most people will make in their lives (behind a mortgage) are not going to give pause when they find out he’s funding a fascist like donnie?

          This is the community I am talking about, you just sit around and yell about how bad your enemies are.

          What does elon being a part of the conversation have to do with how good his car is?

            So, I guess buying a product that results in money going into his pocket is just some kind of abstract thing? The second biggest purchase a typical American will make is just totally apolitical with no real concrete outcomes?

              There is not going to be a shortfall on people desiring teslas, so I dont think considering elon makes much sense.

              And you guys are way too into the things elon says. Elon is mildly conservative at best, he is more just someone who thinks for himself, and the only reason we notice is because he is famous. As far as like twitter goes, he just made it more open and pointed out bad things the government is doing so I dont see how that is super bad.
