Summary

Sheryl Crow announced on Instagram that she is selling her Tesla and donating the proceeds to NPR, citing concerns over Elon Musk’s leadership.

NPR is under political scrutiny, with Republican lawmakers and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr launching investigations.

Crow’s move is a protest against Musk’s influence in government and Trump’s efforts to defund public media.

    If it was within my budget I would buy a used Tesla. They’re pretty decent cars. The idea that your car should communicate your values or identity is Bourgeois ideology that I fully reject.

      Are they decent? They have a high failure rate and as a used vehicle you’re likely going to need to drop 20k to replace the dying battery.

        I don’t know, that might be true. Certainly at some price it becomes a good deal.

      When you look at the number of recalls they are doing, I wonder where your “pretty decent” rating comes from.
