He's the reason I didn't even entertain the thought of buying a Tesla when I was in the market for an EV. I ended up buying a Kia EV6
They totally selected the most punchable face photo of his.
You say that as if there are face shots of him that aren't extremely punchable

I took an Uber for the first time on Friday, which was also my first time in a Tesla. It didn't seem very comfortable. The driver also didn't signal very often.

Yeah, I get the point that Elon isn't Tesla, etc. At the same time, at least for some owners, owning a Tesla isn't just about just owning an EV, it's about virtue signalling. And having the Tesla brand linked to Elon means that it's harder to do this.
it's about virtue signalling.

I own and still like the model 3 that I own but I'm not about to sell it just because Elon's douchecanoe, that's just dumb. Now I can guarantee that the next EV I get will not be a Tesla though because Musk's action and values go too counter to my own now.

Not surprising. Elmu did this to himself.
I was in the market for a Model X P100D and decided against it when I heard the irregular door gaps. Added that Elon is a douche, I decided not to buy it.
When the cybertruck was first announced I was interested solely due to how unique it was, and for taking it out into the wilderness for camping with a giant battery. Now, I won't even consider even owning anything with the Tesla name. No way in hell.
