From #NYTimes: Elon Musk's #Politics may be pushing potential buyers away from #Tesla.

@cassandra17lina The article mentioned his removing the Disney+ app from the touchscreen because he was mad at Disney for being "woke."
When we rented a Tesla in March, we had to use Tesla Maps because Elon won't support Google Maps. Tesla Maps is crap. It constantly took us in the wrong direction. We finally used Google Maps on my smartphone.
I don't want to gamble $50K on his instability.
@WordsmithFL Obviously obvious.😂
Plus people are usually adverse to burning to death in their cars, as they strike down pedestrians, before driving itself off the cliff.🤷♂️
@WordsmithFL exactly! I may look into what Hyundai has to offer in electric!!! I may look at Ford also. But Hyundai especially since I"ve had a SantaFe for the last 12 years (and am therefore somewhat familiar with their ecosystem) and want want want to go electric! And though I once test drove a TESLA and yes it was awesome, - - no no no, I'm a no-go since EM went cray cray... He should keep to rockets.
But that's just me!
@WordsmithFL filed under “Double Duh”.
@WordsmithFL Yeah, or the fact that you can buy an awesome #EV like my #Volvo from a legit company that isn’t headed by a megalomaniac who can remotely shut down the vehicle’s operating system if they don’t like a social media post the driver made.
