    No one cares about the rich assholes who own other car companies, so why Tesla? For example Toyota were some of the biggest campaign donors to Trump.

    Also what does this have to do with Fuck Cars? This is about the minutiae of car culture… We should be talking about trains and bicycles here.

      Because the others know to keep their mouths shut and not draw attention to themselves. Also F Toyota for being donors.

      This I totally agree with though. I would perhaps also include cars in the capacity of how they hurt our cities for instance, but in this case it’s not like the article said that the Tesla owners bought bikes instead.

      Iirc many Tesla owners were/are left leaning and I’m guessing many of them bought a Tesla in a combination of tech enthusiasm and wanting avoiding fossil fuel. The same group of people are probably more positive to, for instance, 15 min cities. So it’s likely that some members here own a Tesla.

          How many of them bought a social media company because they were tired of racist bullies getting banned?

            @legion02 Well, theres 🍊🤡 but yes Its a distinction that grabs immediate attention. No one is forced to use X. Im more directly concerned with those that dump forever chemicals in the nations public water supplies, destroy the climate, and directly fund the overthrow of democracy. But, you know, #priorities
