Says someone who seems to have absolutely no idea about 'car culture' and no realisation about just how un-cool Tesla's have become.

I associate them with their wanker of a CEO, Uber drivers, and parents complaining about being stung on EV depreciation.

My friends who already owned Teslas are doubling down on it (upgrading).

Others are buying cars from actual fascist regimes (BYD).

If that doesn’t raise alarm bells to you, you might be suffering from EDS.

Oh please ... I guess we're going to ignore Gigafactory Shanghai and the parts Tesla sources from China.

Enjoy your fascist Uber, son.

Everyone sources parts from China. Tesla does least of it.

p.s. if you buy cars by “coolness” and not by specs and features - you are part of the problem.
