CEO of Tesla and acting President-elect Musk is going on a neo-Nazi binge endorsing far right candidates instead of properly running the companies he’s involved in such as Tesla.
In addition Tesla is considered one of the most unreliable car brands according to: https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-placed-bottom-consumer-reports-reliability-rankings/
Moreover Tesla has the highest fatal accident rates of all car brands according to: https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a62919131/tesla-has-highest-fatal-accident-rate-of-all-auto-brands-study/
Also there are privacy implications with using a car that could in theory spy on you: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/05/massive-trove-of-tesla-files-contains-thousands-of-safety-complaints/
Now that more competent and establish brands are making EVs there’s no reason to buy a Tesla if you want an EV. I’m not here to recommend another brand, I’m just here to tell you that your next EV should be anything other than a Tesla.
So if all cars are privacy nightmares we’d have to pick the least bad option. Tesla is the worst option because you have a privacy nightmare plus it’s ran by a guy who has a history of abusing his power by doing things like banning journalists on his “X” platform. Could he one day use the data collected by Tesla cars against someone he doesn’t like?
Don’t let your (justified) dislike of Tesla dull your senses towards other automakers.

This is bad but Teslas are the wost offenders when it comes to Ipad on wheels. Which is to say I can garuntee theres a way to lobotomize nearly every car produced by the big three or the Japanese car companies the Europeans are a crapshoot though.
