Are people who bought Teslas, some probably for laudable climate ends, now disgusted to drive their car every day? Or are people still buying them and it’s not yet hit home where their dollars are going…or other? Are people selling them due to political reasons now?
People’s perceptions of Tesla owners are so loaded. They are all assumed to be rich left wing virtue signalers who think they are better than you.
If we take that manufactured stereotype and stand it up against Elon Musk’s recent behavior, it suddenly appears in conflict. And oh we love the schadenfreude of that! Haha, you superior assholes! Not so smart now, are you? ARE YOU??
But the real question here might be: what will all of us do with our schadenfreude when we figure out that these stereotypes were made up in the first place, that these are just people who bought what they considered to be a cool car, people who would otherwise probably have bought high end SUVs that cost just as much, and who are still getting all the same EV benefits now that they got when they bought the car. What will we do with our pointing and laughing then??
You’re just throwing around baseless assumptions about baseless assumptions.
Well, anecdotal experience to be sure but I live in Tesla country where every other car on the block is one. I know many people who drive them and I know what their second car is. And it’s kind of hard not to know what people think about Tesla owners, since they are so eager to share it with the world at every opportunity.
People are still buying Teslas fully aware of the huge fascist piece of shit that Muskrat is
