We'll see if its a weathering the storm situation or if it will actually force some changes.
I've always avoided the brand because of the massive surveillance.
But if the prices fall far enough, I may consider a used Tesla (although to date, in spite of all the press, they still aren't generally cheap enough to make me overlook the spyware).
The angst over people driving these cars is massively misplaced.
From a prior post:
A person driving a tesla is not elon 8-/ So in spite of anyone's anger at elon, directing that anger at any tesla owner is about as close to actually tilting at windmills as one can get.
If someone wants to go egg the security perimeter around one of elon's compounds, knock yourself out. That won't accomplish anything either, but at least it will be directed at the correct recipient.
I think almost everyone who bought a tesla, did it for the purpose of electrifying their transportation. Which is a good thing. Noone should be taking their elon angst out on tesla owners.
On the upside of tesla over other EVs, they are the only maker that implemented a significant charging network, and that network is very well integrated into the navigation feature of the car. Driving a tesla around and across California is totally feasible because of that integration.
On the specific subject of having one's tesla stolen, I can see the motive, but again I don't think it would solve any problems.
