Would you buy a Tesla at this time?

Given that Tesla is owned by Elon Musk, and that Musk is un-elected and all-powerful, would you want to enrich him by buying a car that is so closely associated with him?

If you own one today, are you planning to sell it? (See article)

Does Musk care?

I would rather be bred by a pack of wolves in the forest.
Have you read about how Tesla is currently trying to scam Canada for government rebates?

Maybe if they produce a pug-in hybrid engine.

No. And that is despite the fact that Elon is a Nazi. I just don’t like the drive and I don’t like the ipad interface. I do like the Model S, but it’s far too expensive.

Never. I want nothing to do with THAT MAN.

They are overpriced crap. So many complaints about failures. So, there is not a snowball chance in hell. I rather drive a Nissan EV, which is also crap but at least better priced. But honestly, I distrust self-driving vehicles. It is too easy for something electrical to get damaged, and suddenly your car is driving off a bridge guard rail or into traffic. It relies on cameras, and I haven’t had a camera on my vehicles that don’t eventually get affected by weather conditions or humidity.
But I’m okay with a hybrid. Just don’t need a car now. And if Elon even offered me one for free, I wouldn’t take it. If he’s offering it, its because he stands to make money somehow from the offer.
