Here's why a SpaceX astronaut bought a Ford instead of a Tesla
Fox News
SpaceX astronaut Sian Proctor said she purchased a Ford Mustang Mach-E instead of a Tesla Model Y because it was the more practical purchase.
She explained the choice wasn't meant as a slight at the owner of SpaceX, but mostly due to practical concerns.
"Tesla is a great company & I LOVE SpaceX. But there were many factors to my decision. A year ago I was divorced, broke, & living w/my brother. What a difference a year can make! I’m full of #gratitude for my 1st EV & I believe we are stronger working together toward a better," Proctor wrote.
She added that the lower base price and $7,500 tax credit the Mustang Mach-E qualifies for, along with its availability, sealed the deal.
