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.

    I’d go right back to a Honda if they had a good EV option comparable to my Model 3 that wasn’t too expensive. My Model 3 is almost paid off, was looking forward to no longer having a payment. And their current EV options are lackluster, like most manufacturers. Instead Honda has been fucking around with Hydrogen bullshit for years and insisting it’s going to be a thing in the US just like Toyota.

    I don’t give a shit about the luxury aspect and that’s 90% of the EV market. If they just made a Civic EV I’d buy one tomorrow, instead all they have is the Prologue now. And that’s actually made by GM, effectively a Chevy Blazer that’s badged as a Honda.

      Fr I was quite disappointed when I found out about the prologue and that it is just a GM.

          Thats fair. I’m sure they do make some nice cars. I’ll admit I have a bias against american cars.

            Electric cars are a different beast. Also, since the auto bailouts, American cars have pretty much caught up with their foreign competitors in regards to reliability. Absent some damning reviews and boneheaded recalls, I’d focus mostly on pricing at this point.
