        Green energy was practically synonymous with progressiveness when Tesla was first gaining popularity.

        My more naive and younger self honestly believed Tesla were a shining example of capitalism done right. Now the only thing I believe they’ve honestly done is show the commercial and technical viability of electric vehicles to the rest of the auto industry, who proceeded to curbstomp them with better build quality. At this point, if and when I can afford a Tesla, I’ll be looking to other manufacturers instead.

        Porsche’s offerings look quite nice…

    Turns out the real tolerance problem at Tesla wasn’t with the body panels but with the race of it’s non white workers. Elon Musk should be shamed out of public life.

    This part says a couple things about discrimination there.

    “One worker described the N-word as both his White co-workers’ and supervisor’s preferred pronoun on the production line,” the lawsuit said.

      No, but Elon’s cult will pretend to be surprised while being disappointed that it’s not racist enough.

        I mean swastika is a budist symbol nothing wrong with it, the threats are the bread and butter of any business regarding relation boss-worker, and the nooses I mean…sometimes you need to make one here or there to pull something up nothing wrong with it.

          The sad thing is I’ve heard people argue that about swastikas left in place where the intention was obvious.
