As a person belonging to a "sect", and a vegetarian, and an EV driver who is still married to his wife at age 77, what's not to like? But I don't think we judge each other by those things. Sure, smart people tend to make smart decisions, and consequently tend to live longer, have fewer accidents, and feel happier, but as you put it, "we are not all like that" as if that's bad. It's not. Neither is driving a gas car. I do not believe gas cars will suddenly disappear, but will slowly fade away, as you put it, in 50 years or so, so the OP need not worry. I feel there will be gas cars and gas car manufacturers far into the future, but people will simply have to pay more to run them and maintain them. Gas cars do not make sense, and people who NEED a gas car because it makes noise and other pollution will fade away with them. I'll fade away before Bill does as I'm 20 years older, but we all know that EVs will slowly and surely replace gas cars, simply because they are cleaner, fill up in your garage, require hardly any maintenance, yet still are wicked fast and with Tesla, are gorgeous.Oh.... I forgot. Yes, some ev enthusiasts are as annoying as vegetarians, people in sects etc... I get it. We are not all like that though
Off topic I know, but we had our first full blown run in with Tesla haters yesterday. In a parking lot, person tried to squeeze in next to us..on a 45 degree angle and about 3" away from the fender...I made the mistake of tapping our horn...then all hell broke loose. My wife says if we have another run in with nut cases, we should sell the car..oy
It often reminds me of Apple in about 2001. “Computer guys” couldn’t stand that anyone could possibly be enthusiastic and proud of a candy-colored contraption when they knew that their PC box was superior on paper. How effing stupid could you be to buy an iMac?! Mind if I tell you how stupid and obnoxious you are for buying that thing that I just know is inferior. How could it possibly bring you joy?!
if we have another run in with nut cases, we should sell the car..oy
So sorry to hear that. No one deserves that. No reason to sell the car of course.Off topic I know, but we had our first full blown run in with Tesla haters yesterday.

Before Tesla it was a problem Prius drivers dealt with, I suppose for the same 'reasons'That sucks big time. So many assholes out there. I remember hearing similar stories when Toyota/Honda cars started showing up back in the day.
Thanks for taking the time to ask. I appreciated the interaction.@FastDoc one thing that I wonder about: I assume you put a lot of value on individual freedoms, you've basically said as much here. Thinking back to your original opinions of Tesla drivers, before you tried to develop some empathy:
How does anyone driving a Tesla impact your freedom to drive anything you want to? No question, gas cars are here for a couple decades anyway. Isn't it exactly the same from anyone's perspective if they decide to drive/own what ever car they want to? I decide to own a Tesla. Fine. You're sticking with gas, fine.
Seems to me you had a double standard or something.
Not trying to open old wounds, and kudos to you for being open to learning here, but I can't understand your original position, or anyone hating on Teslas. If you don't see the point, then just don't drive one.
And the tax credit is a dumb excuse. Oil subsidies are several orders of magnitude more than all the support for all clean energy efforts.
Comment of the day, Gus!Get a Cybertruck, they’re bulletproof
All hell...The guy on the bike was trying to recruit people into the mix..yelling "these Tesla people are A.Holes, they don't own the road , the old lady kept hitting the window and flipping us off, a crowd gathered and I saw an opening to drive out of the parking lot so I took it, no one was hurt, just a lot of yelling and threats.So sorry to hear that. No one deserves that. No reason to sell the car of course.
There will always be hate. I suspect less and less however. As I have discovered maintain a high level of hate requires immense energy and is self depleting and a person has to seek better ways to use that energy. People habituate with time. When you say 'All hell broke loose was there violence? Were police or the 2nd Amendment involved?
..yelling "these Tesla people are A.Holes, they don't own the road”
"you talkin to me?"Many Tesla drivers are aholes tbh
Still better than BMW owners tho
