I went electric last year and considered a few things:<p>* I wanted a small family SUV with good range<p>* I don&#x27;t care about any self driving features and don&#x27;t trust it<p>* I wanted Android Auto&#x2F;CarPlay<p>* I don&#x27;t want to be locked into a charging network controlled by my car&#x27;s manufacturer, and the Tesla CCS adapter wasn&#x27;t available<p>Although I liked the Model Y I picked up a VW ID4. It&#x27;s been fine so far (13k miles). For my next car I am even less inclined to choose Tesla with all the Musk shit. I don&#x27;t want to advertise that I support that guy.

I don&#x27;t understand his obsession with Twitter to the point that he&#x27;s destroying his reputation and bringing his other companies down as part of the crazy train ride. He could have just streamlined Twitter a bit, opened up their content policies a lot more in line with &quot;free speech&quot; and then left it to a CEO that would share his vision, then let what happen happen. Instead he looks like just another narcissistic, almost cultish, CEO like that WeWork guy.
