    “Too far right for Queensland” is something

    I saw a Tesla in Brisbane the other day with one of those ‘I bought this before Elon went crazy’ stickers on it. When I looked it up on the rego check app, it was a 2024 model. Nice try, but no. :D

      Yeah, those stickers only work if it’s older than the Thai caving incident, IMO.

        Even that late is being pretty generous. Anyone paying attention could have picked it up much earlier, but yeah, that was probably his first fairly public display of what he’s really like.

      They just don’t want their car keyed.

    Nothing to do with Musk, but everything to do with cheaper and actually good Chinese EVs flooding the market.

      Not mutually exclusive

        Maybe but I’ve not heard of a single person say they won’t buy a Tesla because of Musk’s antics. There may be a few but I’m going with minuscule, not a cliff dive.

        Lot of nazi adjacent folks here in Australia, look at the rise and rise of ONP for example.

    Much cheaper to just get a swastika face tattoo. You will get the exact same reaction from people.
