#1 I still wouldn't buy one, even if you gave it to me. Over the past year there are more and more mouth breathing idiots trying to drive those fires in waiting around Quincy, usually the young Asian prince / princess types. I yell at them (and those douchey assholes riding electric bikes) every time I'm riding my bike around town. I now associate Tesla ownership with room temperature IQ and teenage driving ability.

Fuck every last one of 'em in the ass with a shovel.

#5 Yeah Tesla drivers are the BMW drivers of old, Raj.

And don't get me started on E-Bike/Scooter riders. That will get nasty.
