Exactly. Some boycotts are easier than others. Lots of companies sell good electric cars now.

For a long time I also tried to boycott the shittiest oil companies, but after Deepwater Horizon, I realised that's all of them, and I still don't have an electric car.

Although in the case of Tesla, there are also less principled reasons to avoid it: after seeing his handling of Twitter, it's hard to believe he's actually a good CEO. Can I really trust Tesla's quality? Not to mention what effect his erratic behaviour may have on the support I would depend on.
