We Respond To Some (Very Questionable) Comments
Things in the EV World have been a little heated of late, and that's led to an increase in comments on our channel.
Rather than try and respond to them individually, we decided it was time for us to make another one of our semi-regular response videos, tackling some of the icky situations that are currently going on involving one of the world's most prominent EV CEOs, the U.S. Government and some attempted hateful activity aimed at our team.
The short version? We're not going anywhere. The long version? Well, just watch the video below.
00:00 - Introduction
00:50 - A quick note on the truck
01:25 - Our comments section has been increasingly... interesting
01:58 - The Dominance of Tesla, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump - And our decision to not cover it
03:02 - Kate's video on alternatives - and ways to make Tesla ownership 'easier' if you don't support Tesla.
05:19 - Anti-Tesla protests = Terrorism?!?
08:55 - Whataboutisms
11:44 - Let's mention 'White House Sales"
13:59 - Why we're not talking about other Tesla stories
15:15 - Some very strange conspiracy theroies
15:56 - We're a small channel...
17:07 - Nasty comments still feed the algorithm
18:03 - Allegations about Nikki's income and personal situation
21:45 - The comments are ridiculous
22:34 - Some of the US political situation is scary but...
23:24 - Youtube is feckless.
25:30 - Politics and Tech are interacting in a bad way
27:39 - A crazy threat... that's been reported
29:18 - We will not be silenced.
30:24 - Shared experiences
31:09 - We're not doing anything wrong
31:36 - A note on breaking news and our coverage of it
32:43 - Thanks, and Goodbye!
