    Yep. Spent Tesla-level cash on a Kia EV6 GT Line S AWD recently. Took my time deciding which car to buy, test drove a few cars and read lots of reviews, whenever Tesla was mentioned by the sales rep “That’s not happening”, and whenever a review had the Tesla car ranked, my eyes just went to the next one.

    Having a nazi CEO ought to have consequences.

    More anecdotal data point: got a Polestar 2 for Model 3 money instead. Performance, range, design and infrastructure did not even enter the conversation. At no point will I give Tesla money out of my own volition and that includes their charging network. Not even a "difference of political opinions", the man aligned himself with _Nazis_. Looked at history and decided those were/are his guys.
