Message	you'll find a thread or two just like this one where I state the obvious, that GM will be bankrupt/going under in the near future, and the reaction was similar. I would have figured by now that if anybody, the tongue-in-cheek-iness of my "GM is ahead of Tesla" statement would have been obvious to you. I have not changed my opinion on government wrecking economies and markets. I don't buy GM, and I don't buy Chrysler. Would I buy used? Sure, but the companies are not getting any of my earnings with my knowledge or consent. Walking the walk. and yep, I am Paul Revere-ing on Tesla. Get out while you still can. Trade/sell while the brand still has some (artificial)value....or find yourself left holding the bag. I like Musk a lot in general mainly because I understand exactly how he approaches things, and because I understand his approach I see exactly what Tesla's strategy is, buyer beware as always, but the autopilot issues are unforgiveable. In a sane world, Musk might be in prison over it....if the buck doesn't stop with the CEO who was also the board chair until recently, then who? Autonomous driving is a stupid idea given the realities of transportation infrastructure in today's world.....so why is this feature seemingly a hill Tesla wants to die on and why have they been allowed to kill people in the process of developing it on public roads while you and I are on them? I would say it is because our betters have their eyes on revoking driving "privileges" in the medium to long-term in this insane quest by leftist control freaks to protect each debt serf from him/herself. Ultimate virtue signaling. 30 years ago...or now? "I torch my soul to show the world that I am pure deep inside my heart...." --William Patrick Corgan
