      I am going to judge a lot of them for driving like assholes. There’s a reason people call them Tasshole.

      At least where I live Tesla is a good option for overpaid office guys, the guys that used to drive a BMW or Audi. Lots of Tesla drivers that are impatient, aggressive and just annoying on the road.

        There are a lot of bad drivers out there. We all see them every day and it doesn’t matter what make or model vehicle they’re driving.

        I can also say that your interpretation of who is driving these vehicles is a wild generalization. Claiming that Teslas are being driven by ‘overpaid office guys’ is a stretch, and I don’t think you understand how much a Tesla costs relative to any other vehicle of the same year out there.

      I drive a Tesla and Elon can suck Dick, but the actual people that make the car have done a good job for what I’ve gotten.

      Don’t know much about the truck though really

        It is a reality that Teslas were the best affordable EV you could get for a long time.

        Now that the IONIQ is below it in price, maybe we can be a bit judgier for new vehicle purchases… but even still, that is remarkably few affordable EVs available to the typical consumer and there still are some reasonable reasons to pick a Tesla. Unfortunately, that is mostly their charger network, which is the lightning cable of chargers trying to pretend that a totally superior ISO charger isn’t better for consumers in every way.

        I don’t think anyone driving a Tesla owes anyone an excuse. I’ve been driving one for a few years and one of the first things I did after purchasing one was block Elon on Twitter.

        You don’t have to respect a business or the people that run it to buy and enjoy what they’re selling.

          I owe one to myself every time this asshole posts some far right bullshit on Twitter. Really makes just want to torch the car, sometimes. Won’t do that cause it’s a fine car and utterly innocent, of course.
