    We actually make fun of Teslas we come across. Ten years ago, seeing one was like “damn, wow, a Tesla”. Today it’s “eeewwww, yuck, a swasticar.”

    I doubt even coca-cola could destroy a brand that thoroughly. And god knows they tried.

      My kid was dreaming of having a Tesla, like a young kids would. Now he’s like “I’d love a fancy electric car, not Tesla obviously.”

      Yeah, brand burndown speedrun medal right here.

      Mee too. When we were in Norway a decade ago I made photos of the first Tesla Model Y we saw. Today I wouldn’t even take one for free.
