    I resemble this…sort of. Except my car is already paid for and I really don’t think it’s a wise decision to just blow money on another car simply to get out of a current vehicle that more than meets my needs.

      Yeah,like if tomorrow everyone found out the CEO of Ford was a pedo, I promise you the supply of used F150’s wouldn’t suddenly skyrocket.

      Fuck literally every gasoline car driver on the road more than you. I don’t own and hope to never own a car and Elon Musk can suck a fat fucking chode but a Tesla is still more respectable than every fossil fuel guzzling, planet destroying gasoline vehicle of comparable price

        I think you forgot that the alternative is to support a different douche-ey billionaire and subscribe yourself to 5x more expensive climate killing big oil?

        I’m guessing Tesla owners can and do charge at home. I have a Leaf, and I’ve only used public chargers a few times. Under 100k miles cost of repairs shouldn’t be much of an issue.

        I charge at home for $0.058/kWh. The company that provides it is also local and it does create local jobs.

        Do you even know how EV charging works? Do you go to the Apple Store or Android store to charge your phone?
