    To be fair, which I dont think we need to be, just having a narcissistic lunatic at the helm doesnt really make Tesla worse than any other auto manufacturer from an ethics point of view. If you are forced to buy a car, I dont think there is a morally spotless company to purchase from. No ethical consumption under capitalism and whatnot.

    I would argue that elons assaults on democracy and other craziness over the past few years has pushed Tesla into a category of “worse than all other manufacturers”, but maybe not in 2019?

        “I bought this before, I, personally, was aware of the extent of his derangement, and I figured that an electric vehicle from a relatively new company was the least of a whole bunch of evils. Plus, there were some nice subsidies at the time.”
