    Sure. I’m upvoting you for accuracy, but anyone buying Musk’s products at this point is knowingly investing in and supporting his ideologies.

      Yep, that’s why I went with a non-electric car when I was car shopping earlier this year. I have a 220 mile drive I have to do a few times a month because of my work and Tesla is the only EV which has an epa estimated range that can comfortably deal with that. All the other low end EVs were just so much worse, especially for highway driving, and I refused to condone Musk’s antisemitism.

      But I can see people wanting a low end EV with long distance capabilities and having no other choice. It’s either the climate or all of Musk’s shit. Not a clear answer between the two. I decided I was already doing my part and being better for the environment than the avg person by avoiding meat.
