People have been starting threads about initially disliking Teslas for a long time; in fact a link was posted only 3 above yours. It’s kind of a dick move to accuse the OP of political motives. Not to mention she’s very experienced in vehicles, and I don’t recall ever seeing a political post by her (unless in the Israeli/Gaza threads, which I’ve stayed out of).

If you’ve driven, or even better owned, a Tesla automobile, tell me what you liked (and didn’t.) Don’t need answer fast, definitely not in the market for a car right now. But, I can say my opinion of Tesla is quite positive now.
