Muricans getting all puritanical about their virgin hoochie while the rest of the world has already tapped all its other bodily holes, yo.
On the one hand, it's bullcrap to say that the MSM didn't mention it before. It was all over the news at the beginning of the month. But news cycles being the way they are, they moved on to talk about balloons and Rihanna's next squid baby.
So there's this kind of expectation that if you're not covering something 24x7 afterwards, it's a cover-up. Which is weird. What isn't said becomes the news.
What's annoying is that after a week or so gap when the media moved on to other idiotic things, there's been active social media campaigning that the absence of continuous chatter about it = conspiracy. So now this week we're getting multiple MSM news stories not about the news story we originally saw them cover. The news is now the news story that was no longer being covered as a news story.
Too f'ing meta. News has become just another YouTube reaction video.
Because once again, it's never about the core thing anymore ... it's only about the people who react to it or don't. That's what drives news cycles today. East Palestine, OH is just a catalyst tool in all this.
Is that guy auditioning for Bulgarian Eurovision?
Nah, this is how Europe handles Chinese:

It wasn't meant to be a serious argument against Tesla, there are already plenty of those.
Truth is though you drive a Wrangler (which I like) and I drive a Stelvio. They can hardly be called rational choices. And the 'fun factor' of Teslas is rather limited imo. They were once a novelty and they were incredibly quick, but BMW and Mercedes already have much nicer electric cars. And a Lotus Eletre seems more fun too.
I just don't get what Tesla are trying to do at this point. Are they a luxury brand? Because if so, they are starting to fall short. Or do they want to become a mainstream car? But they're still too expensive to be so.

That argument makes a lot more sense, and I agree with you. They are trying to cover too many sects of the market versus focusing on a niche area. However, they can't directly compete in certain areas because there are already established brands with more power.
Also, speak for yourself, big homie. I live in a snowy, mountainous region, I need a four-wheel drive vehicle. The fact it gets 7.25L:100km or has 745 NM of torque is just a bingo. I also do outdoorsy stuff like camp, hike, and shoot relatively often, and I can turn the back of the Jeep into a hard-shell tent pretty easily.
Not having to pack-up a tent makes everything so much easier.

I like your car. Don't get me wrong. And I'm sure it's great at a lot of things. But it's never going to be the rational choice. It's just too nice for it to be so.
I guess Tesla was mostly about the technology, but now they've lost that edge and they need to reposition. I wonder which direction they'll go.
