I would never buy a Tesla now. In fact, Mrs. Noz and I recently bought a plug in EV and ruled out Tesla from the start. But my answer might have been different 3-4 years ago. Plus, cars are expensive. Many people buy a car and expect to be able to use it for a decade or more. It's not all that long ago that Tesla was an attractive brand for progressive people. So there are many left-leaning people who got a Tesla years ago without realizing that they were putting money in the pocket of a Nazi. Two of my friends are like that.
Which is why some of the hate directed at anyone driving a Tesla can be misplaced. If someone bought one in 2019, it's not clear what they should do now. Most of us can't afford to just trash their car and get another one, and Tesla resale values are tanking. When I see someone driving a Tesla sedan I wonder if I should feel sorry for them. They might see what is happening and feel stuck.
Of course this doesn't apply to Cybertruck drivers. That monstrosity just came out a year and a half ago, more than a year after Elon bought Twitter, when it was already obvious what a monster he is. Buying a Cybertruck is a conscious choice to join team-fascists. Also team ugly. Those things look hideous.
