Lol Teslas are not trash. They out perform literally all other EV's in every metric relevant to net lower carbon (both in their individual performance and also in their production practices).
It's just impossible to ignore that this guy was the darling of so many orgs pushing laudable causes, but everyone started pretending he's bad as soon as he broke ranks even slightly. It's very clearly a hivemind effect and sort of betrays the fact that it was all about ideological rigidity all along, and not an earnest concern for whatever the ostensible "cause" of the moment is.
Notice the distinct lack of anybody saying "I loath his downright offensive words but you gotta hand it to him on his accomplishments and pushing mankind forward.". Instead it's always a sour grapes thing about how his cars really are secretly very bad and space-X doesn't hire enough whatever so they suck too! Grr!
