To be fair, I think most of USA is on recreational drugs, legal, illegal, or “prescription”. That shouldn’t matter as much compared to his other actions.
what he does in his free time is one thing (i don't care about that), being high when he is
working for a governmentruining people's lives and jobs is another. -
Riiight. Listen, this isn't going anywhere. You think a salute is worse than a genocide, musk is a greater threat than dictators with nukes, and there's no way I'm going to change your mind. I'm going to peace out
In a couple months a drug fueled musk did to the US what Xi and Putin have been trying to do for decades. It most certainly wasn't just his salute that made me think that.
You could change my mind if you brought any information to the table that shows how those two are worse than musk.
Enjoy your day.

My comment is about the headline. Yes?
I read that. Everyone read that. That's what my comment is referring to.
You could just say, "you're right, I probably should have."
Try it sometime, it's nice.

USA could have spent money developing an electrified economy but the republicans are focusing on bringing back coal mining and reshoring shoe manufacturing instead.
This admin has set the USA back 100 years.
This isn't exclusively a problem of the new administration, or the previous. All administrations since the late 20th century have been compliant in allowing the offshoring of most industry

So support the country committing a genocide against the uyghurs? Because you think a salute is worse than a Holocaust, got it.
Since you proudly champion the rights of Uyghur people, you are aware that the reeducation camps are closed since about 2022, right?

buy the car that isnt overtly a fascist car.
that isn't really an argument in favor of china
China famously doesn't have a far-right problem, unlike the EU or the USA, what are you talking about?

We are in the middle of a crisis. You don't need an other reason.
You can either look ugly in an EV or drive straight towards dystopia in a cool looking ICE vehicle.
I mean I'm personally a public transport kinda person. I live somewhere where a car is really just a status symbol since even the cheapest car costs at least roughly 90k USD and most people take public transport.

Okay there's a ton of spyware in the car, but - just . . don't . . . connect it. Or whatever.
Which of them are you talking about?

It’s not just industry. Now they’re killing the development of skills and knowledge in engineering (hardware, software) and design

And in the US we just block foreign options because it is gov policy to artificially support specific corporations.

Not super into cars but is there even any reason other than environmental friendliness to get an EV? Where I'm from, EVs are all wildly expensive compared to their combustion peers and they all frankly look really ugly to me. The coil whine of the EVs also drive me crazy.
Others have addressed your other questions, but I want to add that the "coil whine" that irritates you is probably the car's slow-moving warning system. EVs are effectively silent at slow speeds because there is no engine noise or road noise, so they are required to make an annoying sound when maneuvering to get your attention. While it is an important safety feature, I agree some are very obnoxious.

I think it also has to do with the economy, not just nazi salutes. Its a bad job market, people dont have money, so luxary cars are not going to be attractive.
Also there is hardly any reason to buy a Tesla... Volvo recharge and others are better cars, made by actual car companies with a good reputation for quality.

I think that's the invisible hand of the market. The visible part is the products you don't get to have.

it definitely has to do when musk being a nazi.
Tesla used to be the brand, the good quality car, the one that you want to get.
(at least that was how the public saw it, car affictionados don't count)
now it's just cringe

Currently only proper options for EV is either Tesla, Korean EV's (KIA, Hyundai) or Chinese. European and japanese EV's are imo shit at the moment. Teslas I will avoid like plague, due to Nazis. KIA's and Hyundai's are so hard to get, so I am really considering getting BYD, Polestar or XPeng.

Idk why are you being downvoted. Musk being a nazi is the last of the problems for Tesla. They had being outcompete by BYD in every measure.

Telsa used to be a status symbol, and sexy.
But then their chief chap couldn't seem to publicly pronounce the popular phrase "Nazi's suck and I wish to have nothing to do with them".
Now Telsa is an anti-status symbol.

"the headline is wrong"
Wahhhh you didn't read the article!
"that's true. you're right. I probably should have. Where I would then return to the single sentence that I'm referring to and nothing will have changed. Do you even understand what I'm talking about? Because that would be nice."

The headline to me clearly is stating that people are not buying Teslas and are buying alternative Chinese based EVs instead. I think that anyone that's heard Elon's name over the past 6 months can read between the lines and understand the causation here.
Well - I would hope. But that's not the same as putting it in there is it.
"Tesla sales drop as EU consumers choose Chinese brands plus Musk is y'know WINK"
I mean, I can see why they didn't go with that one but still. There are plenty of people who don't understand Elmo is an out-and-out nazi, cozy with putin and Peter Thiel and will destroy the country as soon as possible. Not mentioning him and his drugged-out asinine ideas in the headline is a missed opportunity.
