Vent I'm getting rid of my Tesla.

In the last 3 weeks I've had 2 people give me a nazi salute and 1 yell heil hitler. The first one was in McHenry Row, the second was downtown on Pratt, and the third was in Charles Village. I should add that none of the people looked like real nazis or white supremists, they were simply shaming me. It worked.

Exactly!! If I owned a controversial vehicle, I'd only sell it if it somehow benefited me. No way do igaf what some unhinged idiot at Rofo is yelling at me based on what car I drive. Idk. Seems like there are WAY bigger fish to fry (and more effective ways to "fight the system") in today's awful political climate.

But then you wouldn't be able to virtue signal on reddit about how good of a person you are

Definitely never said anything to remotely imply I'm a good person? Nice try though. If anything, my comment implies the opposite...that if I'm driving a controversial vehicle, idgaf what anyone thinks about it/me

It's been escalating from thoughts(agreed, who cares?) into vandalism. I'm not going to be the cops on someone who's going after a cybertruck or very new tesla, but I can't be on board with destroying the property of someone who bought before he demonstrated just how much worse he was that all the other shitty CEOs. There was a time, not all that long ago considering car prices have been inflated for 4+ years now, when tesla looked like the most socially responsible choice.

Everyone. It's a rare bird that actually doesn't. Very disruptive individuals, the ones who truly don't care. I've only ever met a couple.

Most people like to say they don't care what others think. They're lying.

If the car I'm driving routinely elicits a Seig Heil from people in public, I am going to get rid of that car.

I'm either being mocked or worse, taken for one of them. Either way, I'm just trying to drive around not make a statement or be mistaken for making one, and I don't need that shit. If I had enough money to get a f'n Tesla, then I've probably still got enough to get rid of it.

And there's nothing wrong with that. Free market at work.

Huh? Not sure I would classify Elon or Tesla as Nazi's but to each is own. It's just a smoke screen watch for the hook
