    I remember when Teslas used to be cool.

    Now I see them all the time, and they might as well swap the badge for one that says “cunt”, it would be less embarrassing.

      Buy a Tesla because you’re trying to help the environment and it was regarded as the best EV at the time

      Tesla starts making their products shittier

      Tesla lied about range

      Tesla CEO loses his mind, buys a social media company, drives it into the ground

      Someone on the internet says you’re a cunt because you own a Tesla

      Tesla drivers were the new BMW douchebags on the road well before he bought Twitter. I got buzzed by in a parking lot the other day by someone doing at least 30, so close it felt like a huge gust of wind. Turned to see a teslas within a foot of me. Jackass drivers in near silent cars in parking lots are a great combo. If the sensors and self driving worked for shit it would of never let them get that close to me.

      Same, and also, when I was a teenager, I begrudgingly admit that I thought Elon Musk was cool.

      Now if I am to get conspiratorial, Rupert Murdoch is trying to groom Musk into being the replacement for the Koch Brothers. Boomers love the Koch Brothers to the point of living vicariously through them, and Musk will be the same for millennials and zoomers to have their “le funny billionaire epic troll.”
