Tesla created secret team to suppress thousands of driving range complaints

I’ll admit, it’s somewhat comforting to see Tesla owners are treating other Tesla owners poorly. I thought you guys only treated everyone else badly.

Seems like so many Tesla owners drive like complete jerks.

Drive way too close to people (tailgating).

Drive way too fast all time, even in neighborhoods.

Drive way too aggressively.

Drive way too entitled.

I’ve seen some crazy stuff from people driving a Tesla. Driving on the shoulder when traffic backs up. Zipping around people to steal parking spots.

Tesla owners posting videos online of anyone that walks by their car.

We won’t park near a Tesla at all these days for fear of being posted online or even those within Tesla passing it around.

You can say this about pretty much any car that isn't super basic like a Corolla. The uniquely Tesla thing used to be driving incredibly distracted due to the giant iPad in the cockpit, but other cars have that too now.

1) younger drivers

2) male drivers

3) intelligent drivers that think rules don't apply to them (see: HACKER news)

4) affluent drivers, a lot of the BMW crowd

5) single drivers (if you have a kid, you slow down in general)
