@ScottPolhamus@Tesla I’ve been following you for a while I just ordered my second Tesla with your link. Hopefully delivery before the end of September.
When I think of a company that aligns well with liberal values and does more for the environment than any other, it's actually Tesla.
87% of Tesla is owned by people other than Elon Musk. $TSLA is the 10th highest-weighted company in the S&P 500, meaning anyone invested in the S&P 500 is indirectly invested in Tesla. Without Tesla, there wouldn't be electric cars today. Thousands of hardworking people help design and build Teslas—many of them liberals.
Tesla releases an impact report every year, detailing its efforts in supply chain decarbonization, social impact, recycling, responsible sourcing, and more. The company even introduced the world's first Battery Passport to help Tesla owners understand the carbon footprint and supply chain sustainability of their vehicles. I don’t know of a single major automaker that is more transparent about these things.
Without Tesla, the transition to a more sustainable energy future would take significantly longer. Tesla has literally changed the world by accelerating the adoption of sustainable energy. The more products Tesla delivers, the faster it can advance its mission.
Every Tesla sold in America is built in America by American workers. By vandalizing Teslas and boycotting the brand, you're not hurting Elon Musk the most—you're hurting the car owners and the 130,000+ workers at the company. Even if Tesla stock dropped to $0, Elon would still be worth over $200 billion today.
I personally know many liberals who aren't selling their Teslas despite external pressure. Why? Because they want to continue owning the best car they’ve ever had—the safest car they’ve ever had. Tesla offers the best overall EV ownership experience. There’s a reason the Model Y has been the #1 bestselling car for two years running.
Don't screw yourself by not owning the best products because of politics. A few years ago, some people called Teslas "liberal cars," and now some people call them MAGA or "conservative cars." They are not either; they are the best and safest cars, period. At the end of the day, just buy the best products.
Some people are mad at Trump for showing off Teslas at the White House today, but in 2021, Biden held an EV summit and invited GM, Ford, and Stellantis—but not Tesla. He showed off an all-electric Hummer EV and a Jeep Wrangler Hybrid.
Teslas are the #1 most American-made cars. Unlike GM, Ford, and Stellantis, every Tesla sold in America is built in America by American workers. Tesla's Fremont factory in California is the single most productive auto plant in North America.
When you buy a Tesla, you are buying the best product, the safest vehicles, and supporting American jobs as well as a company doing more than any other for the environment and to push sustainable energy forward.
