It may be unfair, but I’ve been increasingly judgemental of Tesla drivers, especially over the past 4 or 5 years. He used to just be a joke when he was tweeting edgelord stuff like his nightstand and trying to have images scrubbed from the internet of when he was still bald. Model S, model 3, model X (s3x, hur dur). Then I was made angry by the hyperloop and his distracting, unproductive impact of the way America thinks about mass transit. Then I got mad about Starlink, first as extremely expensive, dystopian sky litter. Then as a frightening glimpse at communication control in places with civil unrest/protest. Then he bought twitter, and did a hilariously bad job at running it. Installing a cartoonishly bad sign on his building and whatnot. Naming it something idiotic. Then helping bring Trump back from the dead. Then everything he has done in the 2024 election cycle. I don’t know how people can stand to be associated with Elon and all the he represents in any way. It would be like driving around in a Jimmy Savile-mobile.
Because I bought a $60k car in 2018 that still works fine, and replacing a fully functional vehicle is a huge expense to undertake.
I acknowledge that it’s unfair, but I’m judging you. Everyone driving in a Tesla looks like a rube at best, tacky and vain at least, or a contributor to fascism at worst. Perhaps you might consider a bumper sticker, haha.
The stickers do help, I have seen one before and then I remember how it was exciting in the early days that someone was very publicly making a big push to introduce a viable alternative to internal combustion engines. We know a lot more now about Musk and Tesla than we did back when the first cars rolled out. A lot of the early Tesla owners probably meant well and it doesn’t help that nearly all the infrastructure (at least in my area) is car-only and hostile towards other forms of transit.
Elon has always been crazy.
He left trumps orbit last time he was president because Trump withdrew from the Paris Accord.
Now he doesn’t give a fuck about that or similar things.
He’s definitely more crazy / things changed.
I dont remember a time where I both knew of him and thought he was a sane or rational person.
I wonder if I could make money selling body kits to make your Tesla look like a different car… 🤔
“Hey… Does that Prius look a bit off?”
Cybertruck with a Prius shell drives by
Cybertruck with a cardboard box over it, full Snake.
‽
…
“s’just a box”Still better looking than the original
Debadging Teslas is definitely a thing. Back when they were rare, nobody could clock the model without the logo.
It could be this generation’s Lamborghini Fiero mod.
If you buy a Tesla, you deserve all the ridicule you get
I live in an area where it seems like 50% of the cars are Teslas. Half my neighbors have them. Only stickers I’ve ever seen on a Tesla are “Student Driver”
We might be neighbors
I’m in Loudoun county, Virginia
