    You’re not very good a product research if Elon being a shithead is what put you off Tesla. Tesla cars should put you off Tesla cars. Lying about range. Thousands of dollars for software features that don’t work. Atrocious reviews from owners about reliability. The list goes on. Then there’s the hostile racist workplaces where they are manufactured. Elon is just the tip of the iceberg.

    The worst review I’ve ever heard of any product goes like this. “Imagine if your printer was your car, that’s what owning a Tesla is like.”

      I work in the automotive industry as an engineer, and I can confirm that Tesla has a dogshit reputation. A decade or so ago, it was considered the best place to work. These days, the best engineers avoid it like the plague.
