mm Australia isn't one person so it can't say "no thanks" to anything. Could you please refrain from trying to astroturf your political views on Hacker News so that it can remain a good source of information for computer news?

I think there are at least 2 core reasons:

1. Elon has tainted the brand with his polarizing behavior.

2. Tesla now has lots of competition, most with stronger technical features and at more affordable prices.

Elon is a brilliant PR person, but with his ADHD has too many irons in too many fires and increasingly alienates his own workforce.

Would be good to link the underlying data behind this rather than just a sentence.
