I was also considering buying an electric car and immediately ruled it out because of him. Why should I line his pockets? Also I read a lot of bad coverage on their cars in general. I think people are starting to see through the fog that they are not good cars.
All charging stations in the US will about the NACS connector, but it uses the CCS communication standard. They don’t pay musk royalties for them as it’s now a standard.
Bought mine back in October. Tesla was permanently off the table, first because of Elon, then second from all of the QA issues, shoddy quality, and months long waits to fix anything needing parts.
I went for a Hyundai Ioniq 6 instead. Absolutely love it.
I bought my first electric car in December 2023. I ruled Tesla out because of Elon Musk.
Nice. What’d’ya get?
Went with the Ioniq 5. 5k miles in and I love it.

There are plenty of non-Tesla electrics on the market now. And they’re much better cars to boot. You might look into one of those.
Unfortunately, some areas have standardized on Tesla charging stations for all electric cars, so you’re giving him money no matter what.
Yeah, it’s basically the US standard at this point, I know. But at least you don’t have to drive his car.

Same. I’m looking at everything but Tesla. I just couldn’t live with myself…
