While I don't think many Tesla cars catch fire, this Christmas gift image did catch my attention.

Hi George,

Hmm, "pieces of junk like no other car ever!!!"

Would you rather have a Tesla or a Yugo ? 🤣 As for me I'll take the Yugo LOL

Isn't there a new Christmas song...? "Tesla's roasting on an open fire, Elon nipping at your DOGE..."

I would take the Yugo!  I wouldn't own a Tesla and I wouldn't drive one or ride in one.  If they are really the future of our beloved automobiles, then I'm glad my driving days are nearly over and I'm on the way out.

I'm not a fan of them either. I know some swear by them, not I. 🤮

@georgeschire We do have a member on here who owns one.  I'm sure he'd appreciate being called nuts.  Just saying.

I would rather say he's adventurous. I've been a passenger in a Tesla, from my prospective the car rode smooth and from what I could view the NAV and front camera are better than any I've seen.   Any one who's looking for a sure bet could settle for a Honda or the likes of one...boring but a sure bet. Would I buy a Tesla, no thanks...I'm too much of a dinosaur.

@sizedoesmatter I wouldn't buy one either but it's because of Musk.

Clearly, not everyone who owns a Tesla is crazy, nor are they ignorant. I get the Musk issue. But I also think the rage against Tesla is a by-product of all the rhetoric we hear. If we all decided to buy cars based on the convictions/beliefs of the maker, none of us would drive a Ford.

@sizedoesmatter, I've had the chance to drive a few. They are incredibly quick and capable machines. It's a shame their virtues get lost in all the debate. I appreciate them, but I'm not sure I would buy one. I like the sound of my engine too much!

I love the sound of ICE.
