Why wouldn't you - the average person has few ways to influence big players and voting with their dollar is by far the most effective.

I wanted a Tesla for years. I wouldnt consider buying one now.

Even if he wasn't morally reprehensible, the Cybertruck is probably the ugliest and worst built car of all time and the rest of the lineup has a history of major quality issues as well. Meanwhile, the competition has majorly caught up with the lead Tesla blew. In 2025 a Tesla isn't worth buying over any number of other EVs

It's about the only way to vote against him, since he's an unelected official.

One could argue that Elon and Tesla's reputation as the first to seriously tackle electrifying the transport system to deal with climate change got them a lot of goodwill that made people overlook the issues with the cars.

Now the reputation is going the other side of neutral.

> insane that people actually let elon’s government work influence their car buying decisions

Classic business owner fantasy:

Owner: I am going to to stiff you and make your life hell.

Customer: I don't care please let me buy your stuff at over-inflated prices. And keep stiffing me while I suffer because of you.

We are in a rather peculiar situation in US history where a party representing roughly 48% of the population has absolute control over all branches of government. The party representing the other 48% has no authority, and often believes the decisions of the first party to be incompatible with a functioning society.

It’s surprising that TSLA boycotts are the only disruptive protest happening.

That's only on top of Teslas being somewhat shitty cars, and on top of competitor brands offering good EVs.
