Would you buy a Tesla?

i understand the loathing of musk. the a high fiber diet will generate a better entity than he will ever be. but...

dammit, the cars are damned good cars. i came very close to not buying my model Y for the "i hate elon" reason but in the end, it was the best EV that i tested. okay, i liked the model 3 better but i couldn't give up the hatch after 20 years with my prius.

if you want an EV and can't get past musk, i can highly recommend hyundai or kia. of the vehicles i test drove, the ioniq 6 and EV6 were damned good choices. (wasn't a fan of the ford mustang; VW wasn't doing test drives; and chevy discontinued the bolt and the equinox wasn't available at the time.)

however, if you're going to be a purist against CEOs, don't buy petrol (koch industries), attend events at any number of venues (e.g., sports teams). don't buy building materials (home depot and menards are the options where i live in madison). don't go out to eat at (just about) any chain restaurant.

if my ownership of a tesla is a disownable offense, then disown me now. it won't stop me voting from harris/walz; it won't make me any less of a liberal, but the hypocrisy will be disappointing.
