> When someone is that rich, does the few hundred dollars from a car sale matter?

You're right, it doesn't make any difference to Elon. I'm not doing it to hurt Elon, I'm doing it for me, because I don't want to be putting my hard-earned money towards his enterprises. It's the same reason why people will stop buying products from companies who use sweatshops with child labor, etc.

> Honestly, until Rivian, all the other EVs were so bad that it didn't make sense to get the pyrrhic victory.

Absolutely. And I was huge fan of Tesla in the beginning, put a deposit on the 3 model when first came out years ago, before Elon went off the rails. Thankfully now there are more options.



Sure, if I hadn't needed a car in 2022, maybe not. But I think burning fossil fuels is way worse than the marginal benefit to Elon Musk...


agreed, I would still get a Tesla over an ICE car if there weren't any other good EV options
