Tired of car manufacturers doing politics, and this goes for all of them. Well, for all companies. Just make goods and shut up, dammit.

Both customers and employees put pressure on companies to take sides on particular issues.

I can see the rationale behind it but it has very dysfunctional and unhealthy outcomes.

Other then Tesla which car companies are doing politics beyond the usual "donate to both sides" thing?

Tesla, due to Musk, is an absolute outlier here.

Gaywashing and greenwashing for example, which almost all (all?) legacy car companies engage in in some capacity.
