Point is you were the one who put politics into the thread...which is fine just don't cry about the thread being political when you were the one who took it there.
So then you don't think the tide will change on the push to all electric cars when Congress and the presidency change hands again? I certainly think it will.

BTW, Monkey Nuts memes were stupid and completely asinine. I could have put up plenty of memes that were much funnier and actually factual, but I chose not to as this thread got mucked up enough.

That may happen, but I doubt it since this has been in the works through completely Republican administrations as well. EVs are coming, like it or not.

That’s a viewpoint you can make without making a partisan political dig. I have a hard time believing you don’t understand what I’m saying. You clearly enjoy stirring the pot.

let’s put it this way, we are all aware of your politics. Do you know mine? No, and that’s the point.

You were a huge part of why it got mucked up.

Nah....it was humming right along until he injected asinine memes into it. I'm still not sure how Tesla got thrown into the mix anyway in this thread titled "The continuing downward slide of MB dealers & the "Luxury Experience". And if there is a pot just sitting there, it deserves to be stirred so it doesn't build up too much crud.

BTW, I have a pretty good idea of what your political leanings are. I definitely lean heavy Conservative Constitutionalist with some Libertarian views sprinkled in. I don't trust the current leadership of either party as they are pretty much a two-headed monster. I absolutely hated Trump until he showed his mettle and proved his absolute love for our country....and his policies were the best for our country in 120 years. But now we have the insane asylum on the far left trying to sell our country out to the globalists pushing their "great reset". If people haven't looked into what that is yet, they should as their futures are all on the line. The globalists are no longer trying to hide their intent.

There! Now it's political.

No, I don’t think you do actually.

Do you really think that quote justified the moronic memes and comments from Monkey Boy? My comments were in regards to the coming slow down in the current full on assault toward the Fraud New Deal.
Aww did I strike a nerve? Read you like a book, didn't I?
My friend bought a new Tesla Model X last winter. I crawled all around the car and the build and metallic red paint were fantastic. I only found one chrome strip out of place and slid it back myself to match the other door. It really sounds like many of you are just parroting what you hear with no real life experience. Look in the one sixty lemon (167 GLE/GLS) forums and tell me about build quality. That platform was and still is a disaster. I won't even mention the GLB and GLA's built in Mexico...on the same property as the Nissan plant. Did you know the Nissan builds 4 cylinder engines for MB, or that the Infiniti QX30 is a re-badged GLA? Probably not! What about the fake exhaust tips on the CLA GLA A class....Lot's of parrots here....squak squak!

Listen here Simple Jack, I'm not surprised that you think Tesla's build quality is fantastic. Why haven't you bought one yet? I'm sure there are plenty of Tesla owners with no sense of reality who'd agree with you. But this is the S-class forum and there isn't one Tesla on the planet that's anywhere close to the build quality of a W222 or even a W221 S.
