Reply to comment by heyimjason in Competitors chip away at Tesla's US electric vehicle share by Sorin61

Well, I know at least 4 people looking to buy EVs in the next couple years. 3 of them won’t buy a Tesla cause they are embarrassed to drive a car made by Elon Musk. Really. I’m sure GM, KIA and BMW are run by assholes too but those cars don’t advertise it.

If Tesla had its shit together and had offered the Cybertruck when they were supposed to, I'd have absolutely ordered one. I'm glad it all fell apart as it gave me time to read into how bad most Teslas are constructed and to see how big of a douche the CEO is.

I personally think it looks awesome, but I'll hold out for something else from someone else down the road. Meantime, I did order a Ford Maverick.

The Cybertruck doesn't appeal to the greater truck market in any way. The Rivian, F150 and Silverado will all dominate it.

I plan to buy an EV in the next few months (I'm on the waiting list for the Nissan Ariya). I'm mainly skipping a Tesla because of the complaints about their build quality, but the Musk stuff definitely sealed the deal.

Which nestle products do those 3 consume?

Actually, at least one of them calls out how abhorrent nestlè is regularly!

I doubt Ulf Mark Schneider embarrasses himself on Twitter on a daily basis, and even if he did, I doubt it would affect Nestlè negatively because 99.99% of all people have no idea who he is.
