The World Calls Out Elon Musk

[POSTING THIS STORY HERE BECAUSE  and  won’t let me complain on their community- they took down the post]

The disappointment of Tesla is astounding! My 2020 MY low voltage battery died last end of August and the car couldn’t move. Instead of towing it- I said I’ll pick up a new battery and change it myself. “sounds good!” they say. Well the “new” low voltage battery died yesterday and Tesla says since they didn’t install it, they won’t replace it for free even though there is a 1 year warranty. Yeah… I talked to managers- So they really want to kill the brand soooo hard don’t they! So let me list all the things they did to me so far:

• Preordered MY with larger tires- they changed the default tires to my upgraded larger tires, but then they upgraded me to the even larger tires. I didn’t want the larger tire- so they said I had to repurchase my pre-order- losing $500 in the deal because I wanted the tires I wanted and didn’t want the “free” upgrade. went up the chain and they said “Sir, there are thousands of people that want this car- deal with it or we’ll just cancel.”
• Had issue with creaking front end… got a service appointment while I was still below warranty milage- but it happened when I was in FL- drove home to NY- over the milage- SORRY, you aren’t in warranty anymore… WHAT? I even asked during the service appointment- “Too bad for you”.
• Now the battery I used to replace my old, dead battery dies after 8 months- and because I didn’t tow it to their service center to install a new one, I got it from THEM and installed it myself- they are like- SUCK IT! you get no warranty.

I really love my MY- but I really hate Tesla at this point.

Even team Trump has realize that they were Musked!

Elon’s criminal history and now the authoritarian taxes just declared. Show up, 🔝please we need numbers, volume and passion. Stay peaceful

My husband’s been talking to an old coworker because she’s a job reference for him and he’s job hunting now. She told him her entire family “are not trumpers” but her DIL is getting musked. DIL works for the government; remote work from Texas. Musk sent more than one email to her and her coworkers saying they were lazy. Then they told her she couldn’t work remotely anymore and would have to come into the office…in Maryland. Shortly after that came another email that her job will be terminated in June.

Meanwhile, my husband’s friend said her mother’s social security checks were cut in half starting in January. It took her two weeks to get a live person in that office on the phone. And that person could only change her mom’s address in the system. She has been unable to reach anyone about the cut payments.

The friend is, of course, very distressed. Additionally, her son is dealing with a traumatic incident he was in in the Navy; people died and he barely was spared physical injury.

The woman’s husband works in a factory and most of their parts come Mexico. All non-management was laid off for a week because they haven’t been getting many orders since the first tariff announcements and all the workers, including management, are worried about losing their jobs.

My husband is gently suggesting some protest activities. My therapist suggested Red, Wine, and Blue and 5 Calls because doing even a little bit can help you feel more in control. (I already do protests, Postcards to Voters, and we work the polls).

What Musk and trump are doing to all of us is a catastrophe.
