    Anecdotally, I was driving past a large private school in north London this afternoon and encountered a metric butt-ton of teslas. So many fucking Teslas holy shit. Actually completely changed my perception of the typical Tesla buyer, at least in the uk. Looks like it’s more of a Porsche or Range Rover replacement, rather than an Audi or bmw as I’d initially assumed. It’s not really the ‘middle class’ that’s buying them, as far as I can tell. Looks like people in significantly higher income brackets. I think it’s worthwhile to put pressure on this customer base to divest themselves of the brand. I can’t imagine it would present much of a financial burden to do so.

      Still waiting for the affordable option.

      Stainless manufacture, leasing the battery, selling excess power into a decentralised power grid, Tesla was literally the future before Elon made a play for America.

    Please tell me the image is real and not photoshopped. This is the type of integrated “art” pushback we should be engaged in, not standing in a street with signs.
