I love the car, so do both my parents. We all hate Elon... and would be my only reason to not get another one, but I still havent found another EV i like other than the Polestar 2 but I need more range.
"The survey also found that 87% of Model 3 owners are considering a Tesla for their next vehicles. That means it’s a fairly small percentage of people who are actually walking away from Tesla overall, and only about one in five of those people are doing it because of Musk.
The rest of the survey is quite glowing for the Model 3, as most owners appear to be very happy about their purchase and how their cars are holding up."
I completely understand not wanting to buy from him, but taking the depreciation hit selling an otherwise perfectly good car that you already own is sort of dim. Just, you know, don't be a repeat customer.
sunk cost fallacy.
why is every comment defending Tesla/Elon some fallacy its either some straw man or 'im not really a fan of tesla BUT ...'

Shock! I imagine those are the same owners who bought in because of his rhetoric to begin with. Anecdotally, it seems as if less "car people" buy Tesla's, as in they aren't buying it for the technology or the engineering of the product itself.
But that's just an outsiders pov.
If liking the CEO of a company is a prerequisite for using the product.... guess I'd better become a hermit.
