That’s it, I’M BUYING A TESLA. I may never drive the thing, but I owe Musk something for defending the First Amendment.

I appreciate some of the things Musk is saying, but as to buying a Tesla, No thanks...

Buying a Tesla belies your tagline.

They are A LOT of fun BobL. Especially the performance models.
I have just about forgotten how to pump gas.

Bonus - #1 American-Made rated car (Model 3)
Bonus 2 - It’s still worth 90% of what I paid in Sept 2019.

I hate to admit it, but I have been thinking the same. I always try and spend my money where it’s appreciated and the company has patriot values or better yet anonymous political posturing. I really dislike it when a product I use goes political.

Sorry BobL, after thinking about it more and with all the crap Musk gets i have to add some more to my post about while i genuinely like the dude..

All my Model 3 warranty work has been done in my garage by their “Rangers” - a seat switch, one recall(trunk wiring harness) and a camera failure that I caused.
Of course you would need a service center if something big goes.
Basically only need to maintain of wiper blades, tires and washer fluid.
Instant heat in winter
Can watch whatever I want on TV in comfort while daughters take their piano lessons.
360 degree cameras in sentry mode to bust door dingers.
No window scraping in winter - remote defrost/heat control.
Elon Musk payed back his loans early while others failed to.
Elon regularly calls Biden out on twitter with his huge following.
Libs/bots are starting to turn on him in his twitter feed.
Don’t even get me started on Spacex. Cool as hell watching those things land.

And get his - after he sent those starlink internet receivers to Ukraine he followed up with a software update to reduce its power consumption and enabled roaming by turning on a phased array antenna to reduce ability to target.

I just don’t get some of the hate i read on some of my favorite conservative sites.

Instead of buying a Tesla and supporting the communist agenda, subscribe to STARLINK and support free speech.
