Tesla's latest boneheaded move: Sending me a user survey
Daily Kos Staff
As a die-hard sustainability nerd whose house is carbon-negative, I bought a Tesla in 2016 when it was the only real electric car option with a national charging network, and Elon Musk was (or at least seemed to be) a progressive-minded innovator and not the fascist creep he is today.
Unlike many other Tesla owners, I’m not getting rid of it. It wouldn’t be financially or environmentally responsible for me to buy a new car before I run this one into the ground. It only has 70,000 miles on it, most of them tallied while schlepping kids to their activities, and I’m pretty much done with that. (My 21-year-old is long gone, and my 18-year-old will graduate high school in June).
In other words, I may have this car for another 10 years.
That doesn’t mean Tesla isn’t trying to get me to upgrade. With its new buyer pool shrinking due to increasing backlash against CEO Elon Musk’s efforts to destroy the government on Donald Trump’s behalf, the electric vehicle company is going back to its old customers in hopes of goosing sales among an existing fan base.
