Didn't The Dipshit say that Teslas can be used as boats at one point?

Only the cybertruck I think, but in the end neither will be able to so it doesnt matter. I work with tesla and will never even consider buying one, even apart from all the stuff muskrat is doing.

I figured people would have stopped considering one when it came out that Tesla employees made memes out of Tesla drivers as apparently they've been spying on people via the cameras on the car. Which isn't enough that they did that, but they were encouraged to share the memes around the office.

Idk man, and the fact people suggest tweeting (or x-ing) Elon if you run into difficulties with the Tesla stores (such as warranty). I find it insane. That's if you separate Elon from the brand Tesla, but if you don't it's all the more. He is a highly vindictive, self-centred ego fuelled bag of lies which is a personal reason I don't like Tesla.

Were the cars good before he bought the company?

I dont know, but i would probably say yes. I only started working with them ~3 years ago. My big issue with them is that they seem to have no idea what they want or what theyre doing. Constantly changing plans, requirements, shipment dates, shipment locations, color specs, etc. All of their engineers ive talked to are super young, they must be new hires. But such overarching disorganization must come from the top.
