I love my car irrespective of public opinion about Tesla's owner. Media narratives don't affect the reliability of my car or the comfort I experience driving it. I simply enjoy the vehicle for what it is.
I know that the price of a Tesla vehicle has gone down, but I'm not looking to sell my car. It has no reliability issues. Not once have I had to repair anything. The battery is performing great. Why would I sell it? I understand that five years from now, the battery may not be as good as it is today. But if you own, say, a BMW—the holy grail of car engineering—good luck keeping it after the warranty expires.
My other Tesla is on lease, so I couldn't care less about the price drops.
Feels like this is the same playbook Google, Meta and Apple apologists all roll out.
"I love this product because I am oblivious to the immediate political consequences of owning it. You can't make me care about security or privacy until I decide to care about it!"
At least we now know with hindsight that every Google, Apple and Meta product was completely benign. At least, that's what my deprivation from media narratives tells me.
