    I agree and I drive a Tesla, unfortunately it’s paid off so for the time being it just makes sense to keep driving it because it costs me basically nothing.

    But I feel like a POS in public and it sucks.

      Well fucking stop feeling like a POS.

      Please?

      Its just a car, and regardless of who elon turned out to be.

      And ya know what? Elon is the reason they arent better cars. He is not the reason they are as good as they are.

      Take politics out of it for a minute and just remind or consider, how is your tesla a better car than the ICE car you did and/or would have instead.

      You can feel good about that. Its okay. Elon is a piece of shit. He didnt always seem that way and that does suck. You dont, he does.

      When you decide to get a new car you are going to have so many awesome options next time.

      And you wouldnt have those options then, if Teslas werent/hadnt pushing everyone else in the world into getting away from ICE

        Yes. They should be. Fuck the downvotes, I’m done with this shit.

        Sell your fucking Tesla if you own one. It’s a dog whistle.

          Effecting change in this world sometimes requires personal sacrifice. Things are the way they are because too many don’t want to inconvenience themselves. Downvote away.

        Those bumper stickers are bullshit. Musk was a nut job who profited from apartheid and then bought his way into the public mind as some kind of low rent Tony Stark from the get. San Francisco 2012 people thought I was nuts for claiming he was a huge charlatan and now those same people rock those bumper stickers.
