I like the trend of people putting bumper stickers on their cars to clarify that they don't agree with the political views of the owner of the manufacturer. But it shouldn't just stop at teslas.

If you drive a Toyota, get a bumper sticker that says "I believe that internal combustion engine cars have to be phased out at some point".

If you drive a Ford, get a one that says "the protocols of the elders of zion are antisemtic lies and nothing else".

If you drive a Mitsubishi, get a sticker that says "I think it's kind of fucked up that this company built bombers in WWII and is still allowed to exist".

If you drive a VW, an Opel or a BMW, get a bumper sticker that says "I swear to god I'm not a nazi"

Curious. Hard to find a car manufacturer that never cooperated with the nazis or was headed by one

@schratze when they were discussing changing the flag of south carolina in the usa to get rid of its confederate stars and bars, someone pointed out the the governor drove a VW (or a BMW i don't remember) and he said "yes but we don't put it on top of the state building"

@schratze elons Hitler salute was NOT 80 years ago.

I don't think you can compare those two.
Especially when they built memorials to rehabilitate from that time: https://www.volkswagen-group.com/de/die-erinnerungsstaette-an-die-zwangsarbeit-auf-dem-gelaende-des-volkswagenwerks-15867

(I don't own a VW and I don't plan to buy one, but there are differences.)
