Tesla drivers in my area have become the Prius / BMW3series / Soccer Mom vehicle rolled into one.

Tesla drivers near me have now become 1 of 3 groups.

1. Like Prius they drive really slow and terrible and have no clue how to navigate traffic, where to go, how to backup, how to merge, etc. They are a complete hazzard on the road.
2. Like BMW 3 series drivers they are arrogant assholes who somehow think they are cool shit b/c they have a Tesla. They cut people off and think they owned the road as if getting a BMW/Tesla somehow means they've won at life.
3. Soccer moms. The Tesla larger model...,don't konw the name, and now the cyber truck, have become the vehicle all the rich 45-55 year old soccer moms drive to spors events. They are everywhere here and most of these women suck at knowing how/where to park, just like they sucked at driving big SUVs.


That is all for now

Buy Tsla stock Ninjaboy

 

[fungi]

Yeah, seems like the first ones to buy those "trendy" things like hybrid cars or EVs are always some attention-seeking assholes.

Comes with everything "new". That's how world works.

I haven't met a single Tesla owner who actually cares about the environment; they just got one because it looks cool or as a status symbol. I have a hard time respecting people like that.

I think you are just a hater because you don't own a Tesla

I know a couple Tesla owners that don't care about the environment. They say they like the tech, or how fast it is. Nowhere in their list is the environment.

However here in California it really isn't cool or a status symbol anymore because so many people have them. They call the model 3 the California Camry for good reason. Theyre a dime a dozen. Besides it's not like a model 3 is even an expensive car. But I could see in a state like Wisconsin how someone having one thinks they're special.

have you ever driven a tesla?

it's not just a status symbol, you can get a bmw or mercedes for that, the car is kind of amazing. Automatic detection of people tampering with your ride, auto pilot is pretty darn good and simple to use, the screen shows vehicles in all directions and blindspots, even pedestrians from a birds eye view, it's powerful, and the battery life is reasonably good. It's like the apple of cars, all the rest are androids.... and people can shit on apple for the same way, they just cant fathom the brilliance.

you gotta be lucky or willing to blow a lot for a cybertruck, if you're on the wait list, you'll understand.

the main issue I have with tesla's is whether or not someone is using autopilot, you know it'll be safe around you, and at the same time, these are really powerful machines and I cant tell who has a lead foot vs autopilot user. I want to feel safe around a fellow driver, but if that driver has a lead foot, not using autopilot, looking to road rage......... they can be worse than ordinary drivers simply because they have the literal power in their vehicle and may seemed entitled to own the road.

I have tesla solar, the very last thing on my mind is saving the planet

hard to deny it's an attractive looking car, but if I had to critique.... why do they all look the same? model 3, s, x, y can have a wide amount of differences in costs and they all kinda look the same, from the front, I cant easily tell them apart, and in the rear I'll have to double take to figure which is which.

4. All the Asians that would normally drive a Lexus or Acura SUV converted to a Tesla Model Y.

 

[Warehouse]

I have a relative whose entirely personality is now seemingly based on owning a Tesla. You can't get him to shut up about his Tesla, he's always wearing Tesla t-shirts and other merch, etc. His wife even jokes that he loves his Tesla more than he loves her. I'm pretty sure there are countless others like him, although I'm fortunate he's the only one I know. I suppose that puts him firmly in your second group of Tesla owner.

 

[TribalDrumz]

Biggest douchebags on the road now.

BMW tuned engines sound like raspy shit also.

I have read comments from EV owners talking about how much money (in fuel costs) they saved by going electric. So that is a major reason for why people buy them (as long as you have warranty on it and don't keep it long enough to require replacing the battery).

Ironically I do own Tesla stock...heh

So true about the sheer number and affordability. They are everywhere here in CA, Bay Area. I go visit family in the midwest farming communities and the old farmers have these souped up 3/4 ton trucks that cost more than a lot of the Teslas I see here.

Of course now we are getting the people who want to be special getting Rivian and Lucid. I have to admit, if I got EV I'd want Rivian or Lucid as well.....just to be different.

 

[MicroBrew]

Where I live there are very few Asians but a dispropotionate number of Teslas is driven by them.

The Model Y is such an ugly car too. I've been seeing a lot more VW and KIA evs popping up around here. Even Mach-E. Hell, any other EV is better looking than a model 3 or Y

But it is really like driving an iPhone on wheels. Not surprising considering Tesla is a tech company. The build quality of their cars is absolute shit, but people to look past it or lie to themselves because they just "love the tech." Which is fine, but let's call a spade a spade. I've driven three Teslas and found the driving experience to be very sterile. Then again, I like driving cars that rumble and you can shift gears in.

Also, any tech you find in a Tesla is probably done in another car or some instances other cars have better tech when it comes to certain features. I don't know, if I had to drive a Model S or a 7-series BMW every day, I'll take the BMW. There's no comparison in ride quality and creature comforts, the BMW is superior. But cool touch screens though.
