You don’t have to take it to the extreme, as if it was an absolute. In this case it’s avoiding Tesla, which isn’t really that hard.

Exactly. Some boycotts are easier than others. Lots of companies sell good electric cars now.

For a long time I also tried to boycott the shittiest oil companies, but after Deepwater Horizon, I realised that's all of them, and I still don't have an electric car.

Although in the case of Tesla, there are also less principled reasons to avoid it: after seeing his handling of Twitter, it's hard to believe he's actually a good CEO. Can I really trust Tesla's quality? Not to mention what effect his erratic behaviour may have on the support I would depend on.
