Mark Ruffalo says his Kia is 'hands down a better car' than a Tesla: 'Feels luxury'
The actor and longtime environmental activist criticized Tesla's build quality while praising Kia's EV.
Mark Ruffalo, the acclaimed actor, shared his thoughts on Tesla and Kia electric vehicles (EVs) on X, revealing that he finds the Kia EV to be a superior vehicle compared to Tesla. Ruffalo, who was once a staunch supporter of Tesla, expressed his belief that the Kia EV offers a luxury feel, contrasting it with his experience driving a Tesla.
The actor, known for his role as Bruce Banner in the "Avengers" series, has had a long-standing relationship with electric vehicles, even placing a deposit on a Tesla Model S in 2012. However, in recent years, tensions between Ruffalo and Tesla CEO Elon Musk have escalated. In 2022, Ruffalo criticized Musk for damaging his credibility after taking control of Twitter, and in the same year, he campaigned for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris while Musk invested heavily in supporting Republican candidates during the 2024 election.
Despite the ongoing conflict, Ruffalo's recent statement highlights his preference for the Kia EV, describing it as a "hands down better car" that provides a luxurious driving experience when compared to Tesla.
