      I tend to look at the license plate, as in the uk it tells you how old the car is.

      For instance MS21 ABC or MS61 ABC would be a car sold in the first half of 2021 or the second half of 2021, respectively. Also, the first two letters say where it was sold.

      So based on the age I can see if it’s a purchase after it was well known Elon was a douche or that they have poor quality control or even before everybody else caught up. Then I’ll judge them. For older ones, I’m more lenient.

        I know people with Tesla’s and they don’t care about musk. They don’t follow American politics, or are they subbed to him on his platforms. It’s a popular and expensive EV, so it’s great to flex on the poors. When someone gets one, people will fawn over it. That’s just the reality.

      I get this, but also it’s stupid when you realize many of those drivers purchased before Elon’s foray into far right bullshit. For a long time elon leaned left (barely) and those buying teslas were investing in alternates motivated by things like climate/fossil fuel usage

      What are they supposed to do, simply buy a new car lest they be considered an automatic asshole? Judge the Cyberstuck morons sure, but judging anyone with a Tesla isn’t great

      Now with that being said, I also judge Tesla drivers lol

      Well, I think a lot of people bought a Tesla before Elon went publicly nuts.

      I was personally saving to buy a Tesla, but now I’ll be buying an EV from a different company.
