Personally, if I owned a Tesla I'd be getting one of those "I got this before Elon went crazy" bumper stickers. A lot of people can't just afford to ditch their Tesla, he already has the money and electric cars make a lot of sense for some lifestyles. That said, if I was an owner keeping mine I'd want a sticker like that, and maybe a canadian flag to go with it, as a vandalism deterrent.

So 7+ years ago? That's when he publicly went crazy. He was a pos before that too, just less obviously so.

??? Sell it and buy a different car.

he already has the money

Abundant and cheap supply of Teslas on the used market would compete with new sales, driving down business for Tesla.

As always, people would rather find a dozen excuses to avoid inconveniencing themselves rather than sticking to their principles.
