As much as you may not be into cars, for a significant amount of people they’re seen as a status symbol and part of someone’s identity. It may match a persons style or lifestyle choice.
If you are seen to be driving one others may believe you side with Elon musk and his radical political shift. You may also disagree with him so much you may not want to daily something that benefits him overall.
Right so an anti Elon sticker should suffice. So now the smart owner is out $1, not thousands.
It may go deeper than that. If I owned a Tesla, driving it around would be, in my mind, free advertising for Tesla and, by extension, Elon.
I have zero interest in throwing him or his company even the most ephemeral of bones, so I would personally find a sticker to be weak protest.
ETA: if you bought a Tesla car before his rapid mental decline into alt-right fascism, that's one thing. But cybertrucks and new Teslas are after, and owning one is saying at best, "Yeah, he's a technofacist, but I don't really care if my money props up his ketamine-fueled destruction of societies."
This ignores the fact that selling the car does not remove it from the universe. It'd be better to have a liberal with anti Elon stickers driving it than a nazi, don't you think?
No, I don't. It's free advertising for a fascist. Who is driving it doesn't matter; people should look at every Tesla with derision and treat doing business with his company as taboo. People driving them should feel uncomfortable about their proximity to a fascist.
I would love to crush every Tesla and have the company go bankrupt, but try recommending that to someone in a list of actions. That's why it's not included.
Hah. Actually you've still lost thousands because no one wants those shitboxes.
