    Hate to say it, but lots of people still buy VW even when the current CEO is still sympathetic to Nazis. Unfortunately Tesla will be fine.

          And like all of Japan and all of Italy and all of Germany. They were on opposite sides in a war. There are degrees of support, ut part of the process of ending war is moving forward without constant grudge holding. Certainly, hold those responsible that committed heinous crimes, but we don’t put entire populations and all their industry in jail.

          VW currently is still doing terrible things, but no more than other companies. Elon is magnitudes worse on many fronts.

            It was a joke. I was referring to the fact that VW was literally created by Nazis before being resurrected after WWII.

        As far as I know the VW CEO is not a Nazi sympathizer, only Elon is. The person is being purposefully misleading.

        VW had it’s history from Nazi Germany, but it isn’t run by Nazi like Tesla.

        But yeah, Tesla got infamous for poor quality, especially with cybertruck.
