    I bought my first EV last month. I’ve been looking forward to making the switch for 10 years. I would have been happy to buy a Tesla back then (not that there were many options). I didn’t even consider it as an option now because of Musk.

          From the same company feeding the trolls anti-EV propaganda when Tesla went through their growing pains, and now can’t admit that changing fundamental technology and scaling up can be hard. That Blazer is having all the same quality problems and growing pains people laugh at Tesla over - looks cool though, and was on my list as well

          In my case, lack of CarPlay was a big factor against Blazer, although I’m ok with that on my Tesla, because at least they do good software

            Not arguing any of that. The point here is that I find Musk repulsive enough that the Tesla, for all of its superior software, was never even in my decision making process.

      Same here. Every company sucks in some way but Musk is just the worst. We went with the Mach E and it’s been great so far. Not perfect but a huge improvement for us over ICE.
