  • You’ve seen the headlines about telsa sales tanking right? In some markets by 50% or 60%. That’s a big deal.

    First movers do enjoy a special privilege but I’m not sure how sticky that will be in this case. Musk’s political views are at odds with people that are environmentally conscious.

    Those views are now indefeasible from the brand and this kind of “vandalism” (provided it doesn’t significantly damage the vehicle) is a great way to reinforce that connection.
















  • You raise a good point.

    I’m much the same in that I just refuse to watch anything with ads. They really are dystopian and weird.

    I also get that same feeling when I see someone just grinding through youtube ads, but people that do that just don’t seem to have any awareness of the interaction - it’s just part of the show.

    The weirdest of all is when people (usually brave browser enthusiasts?) try to claim that “some” ads are actually a good thing because it makes them aware of some product they actually desire which they wouldn’t have been aware of otherwise. I’ll take blissful ignorance thanks.

    So yes, I can imagine people doing this stuff without really thinking about it.
