    I wanted a Model 3, but by the time I could afford to buy the Performance model it turned out Musk was a dickhead. Couldn’t bring myself to buy something with his aura around it, no matter how good or goodn’t the car itself might be.

    Then I found the BYD Seal - which also comes in a Performance model - for a comparative price. Also it comes with a HUD and indicators+wipers on stalks. And its subjectively a better looking car anyway.

    So I bought one. Now every time Musk does something stupid I can say “wow, what a dickhead” and not feel like I’m letting “”“my team”“” down.

      I don’t really understand how BYD is better than Tesla politically. Fuck Musk, but going from Musk to CCP doesn’t seem like an upgrade to me.

      You’d be better off with a European car. Less blood in the mix.
