The article expresses mixed feelings about owning a Tesla Model S amidst dissatisfaction with Elon Musk. The owner appreciates the vehicle's performance and reliability but struggles with the ethical implications of supporting a brand associated with Musk's controversial remarks. The narrative illustrates a complicated consumer relationship where the quality of the product clashes with the founder's public persona, leading to a dilemma over whether to retain or abandon a well-performing car that feels morally compromised.
Today's salute doesn't change anything, because it doesn't tell us anything we don't already know about Elon. I've been wanting to get rid of my 2013 Tesla Model S for years.
It's tough, though - as a car, it's great. Does everything I need it to do.
But boy, having anything that's associated with Musk is, frankly, gross.
But we're talking about many tens of thousands of dollars, and the fact is, the Model S is still (for me) an excellent car.
