Well actually they don't, they've been surpassed by BYD.

I have a beater 97 Corolla. Don't care about stuff hitting it one bit. I wanna get some kind of funny sticker that's like "at least it's not a Tesla" or something like that
We're going to turn in our death trap next year and get something from an actual car company
Ooh, maybe this means cheaper used Teslas.
…but then you’d have to drive a Tesla. Shit.
Are there hacking projects around them? It might be worth it if there are.
Never let a Tesla merge.
Please don't put people's life at risk for that.
May impact sales...
Let's face it, people seem to be able to tolerate a lot of shit before they ever actually start showing how they feel with their wallets.
Oh I don't know, the Budweiser stock hit endured pretty lengthy after being advertised by a non-redneck.
I cant stop laughing when I see a Cybertruck. This is the ultimate insecurity toy and the ugliest car ever made.
When they were first released I saw them being driven everywhere. Now they've disappeared.
I finally saw one in person and I was a little ashamed to live near someone who made that kind of choice.
I've seen at least 8 so far.
Cracks me up every time.
2018 he called a diver that saved kids a pedo. Anyone who bought a Tesla after that can get fucked.
A year after Tesla was started, he invested into it with shitloads of money.
Then he sued Tesla for the “right” to be called a “founder”.
You say that but it's a pretty recent development that there was any significant alternatives to Tesla in the American EV space. Even now that is one of the only options for buying used at a reasonable price. That is finally starting to change but for a lot of people between 2018 and now the choice was between buying another ICE vehicle or a Tesla. I don't blame people for overlooking some of Elon's faults in order to help address climate change, especially since the really crazy side of him wasn't widely publicized until two-ish years ago.
I would say it started around the pandemic, about 4 years ago
Meanwhile, cybertruck owners are doubling down on their wankpanzer purchase.
Cyber truck owners seem like the same people that previously were making fun of EVs.
While I appreciate the gender neutrality, it made me wonder: are there any women who voluntarily own a cyber truck? Every douchebag I see in or posing with one is a guy.

The fact that it is taking this long still shocks me.
I've been seeing more and more of those stickers around the last couple of years. I think this is just the media catching up

Elon has became more embarrassing for sure.
While Tesla remains the dominant EV maker, ...
BYD has entered the chat.
The US will just slap enough tariffs to make them roughly the same price as the competition.
No need. You can't even legally import them.
As your Canadian buddy, do you want a hookup? We'll meet on the border of Alberta and Montana under the moonlight where the moose crows.
moose crows.
A terrifying hybrid species that weigh a thousand pounds, can fly, and remember the faces of those who have wronged them.
Here you go
lmao Canadians cant import BYD either. Check out the stupid rules for importing cars we have... Gonna have to wait 15 years for those imports.

As is the way of the "free market". Us automakers aren't even trying to compete, half their EVS are massive SUVs/trucks instead of smaller, lighter, more effecient designs.
Hoping Aptera takes off tbh

Once admired by liberals for his environmental advocacy,
They now know him for the liar that he is.
