I don't like Musk, but I am also under no illusion that CEOs of other major car companies are any better. They may just hide their opinions a little better than Musk.

The reality is that Tesla aren't very good cars from both reliability, price and range perspective. Musk has done a brilliant job hyping the car, but reality starts setting in. For example, FSD will likely remain in beta for years.

Agreed. Second most popular EV here in Australia is an MG. Which is a state owned CCP company. Is Musk worse than the CCP/Xi Jinping? Really?

Isn't that better? Even if it's not /good/, it seems /better/.

It is a complex issue that would require an essay to answer.

However, in this specific case, avoiding buying a car because you don't like the CEO, it doesn't make a difference. Most CEOs are psychopaths.
