Please.

Does driving a Volkswagon mean that you support their founder which in this case was Adolf Hitler of the German Labor front?

It doesn't.

Which is why the majority of drivers do not care about any of that, and only an extreme tiny minority hold that view in the case of both VW and Tesla.

>> That and I really hate the lack of tactile buttons in those cars, and their love for a clearly unsafe "full self driving" solution

The FSD scam is valid criticism of its deceptive advertisement of its false sense of safety, which at least it is an add-on which you don't have to buy it with the care.

Respectfully to your Elon Musk / Nazi comparison you’re making (basically Goodwin’s Law right? Eventually someone was going to bring up hitler…) if the third reich were in power and selling Volkswagens I wouldn’t be buying one even if no one else cared.
