As the saying goes, “It takes years, sometimes decades to build up a brand’s reputation, and just seconds to destroy it.”
It took over 15 years to establish Tesla as the world’s leading electric vehicle company.
Now, after just a few short weeks of Elon Musk’s crazy shenanigans across the globe, disillusioned owners are finding novel ways to divorce themselves from the brand and are becoming inventive in finding humorous ways to distance themselves from Tesla.
OGN has collected several such instances and put them all together for you. It all seems to have started out as a bit of fun, but when Musk got involved in politics on both sides of the Atlantic, the original fun and games has taken a more sinister turn. Be that as it may, the bumper sticker craze seems to have all kicked off with this particular tongue-in-cheek message...
This theme then took a clever twist in Norway. In a bold (and let's be honest, hilarious) marketing move, Kia Norge took a not-so-subtle jab at Musk by posting this on Instagram...
Others even went to the trouble of removing their Tesla emblems and swapping them for badges from other automakers - like this one that is now adorned with full Audi A5 badging.
Other bumper stickers include those featured in the next two images, as anger and disillusionment amongst Tesla owners increased.
The fascist theme is the latest twist in the ongoing saga and represents, unfortunately, a rather sinister turn. In Germany, where Musk endorsed the far right party on X during recent elections, street billboards were deployed to demonstrate local feelings, like this one...
Meanwhile, in London, somebody is picking up the tab for posters on bus stops...
Then, after President Trump did his bit as a Tesla car salesman outside the White House, this advert popped up on another London bus stop...
Feel free to send OGN any more stickers you see in the wild. Or, of course, to share this page with friends and family.
