I love how you write! The snark is next level giving hot woman at cool bar drinking a mocktail vibe while easily eviscerating the luring guy at the end of the bar before he realizes if he moves, his head falls off.

I love this so much, everything you wrote in this post is gold. There were Teslas everywhere when I moved away from Austin a couple of years ago. I wonder how many people traded them for a different EV brand since then. I sure would have!

Then there are the EVs that fly under the radar. The Ford F-150 Lightning and Mach E. The VW ID Buzz. The Chevrolet Equinox EV. The Cadillac Lyriq. The Nissan Leaf. So many choices. Tesla is so 2015…

A couple of times I have seen Teslas with a bumper sticker that reads “I bought this before Elon went crazy”

Where I live I do see a lot of the teslas there with bumper stickers or signs in the window apologizing for driving a Tesla and condemning Musk. I also just traded my model Y in for a Hyundai Ioniq 5 and I’m never going back.
