How is it in any way relevant what German car makers were doing 80+ years ago? Unless you also think all modern-day Germans should be "cancelled".

Apart from that I agree, the American car lobby has been terrible for public transport development and green energy

Because they and many other modern car companies supported nazi genocide and fascism for money that I don’t think it’s a coincidence we’re seeing the same with Tesla. Time doesn’t change the past.

Unless it's the same people in charge of the company as it was in 1941 then it doesn't matter. Everyone knows that many German companies have a terrible past, but they've long since taken a clear stance against it. There is literally no correlation between these German car brands and Tesla. It matters what they do today (and possibly the recent past).

If you want to boycott things over the distant past you literally couldn't use anything.

Tesla deserves this because of Elon's current actions. If he steps or gets removed and Tesla continues to operate with a different philosophy there should be no issue with them in, say, 15 years.
