@sonic81 @cstross A good reason not to buy them either if you think that. Or not to buy any new vehicle that comes with a contract with the manufacturer, that you don't actually own outright, rather than something used.
But in the immediate, Tesla is the threat to the fools who otherwise refuse to look at this problem and who insist on buying new/status-symbol cars. As well as being the one whose image and stock price affect the chief nazi coup asshat. So keep the stories that scare the folks away from Teslas coming.
