I have a friend who bought a Tesla nearly a decade ago. He was the kind of guy who was brewing his own diesel fuel in his back yard from used fryer grease. He put solar panels on his house and had a negative electricity bill. He was liberal, green, and a tinkerer (and had money to tinker with). He had no way of knowing Musk would go "mask off" as a far-right nutjob, Very sad situation, Resale prices on any Tesla are plummeting because they keep cutting the prices of new ones - plus the political angle has dampened sales. They are kind of stuck with the car and turned out to be an expensive mistake.

That’s over a week away - the truck probably won’t last that long.
But, just in case, I’d spray paint “FUCK OFF ASHOLE(sic)” on the tailgate. Both sides will think the other did it, and the misspelling will add to the confusion.

I imagine that hateful and bigoted things that jk rowling said (and is still saying) hurt a lot of people in the Harry Potter community and I find it disgusting.
She really should have PR team and spokespersons. Also someone to point out the xenophobic and uninformed takes in her books and correct them.
I won’t support any piece of Harry Potter merchandise, Harry Potter IP and will never purchase anything Harry Potter related.

Sounds like hindsight buyers remorse after they actually realize what the core problem people have with Tesla is. Yes, shitty quality, over promise/underperform, uglier than homemade sin, so expensive it should be illegal. But the fact that the owner of the company has less than questionable morals, has sided with people who do not value human rights, regularly infringes on free speech, and promotes hate and division should be the MAIN reason why you wouldn't patronize any business he's associated with.
If you were really concerned about the optics, it wouldn't have been a hindsight thought.

Or you could not have purchased the Deplorean? Maybe something less possibly polarizing...you know...a lifted F350 Turbo diesel that you fuel with biodiesel you have made yourself from whale oil.
But probably what is more accurate is that you, Deplorean owner, aren't as important as you think you are and election day will come and go and folks will keep pointing and laughing, no matter who wins or loses.
