My wife made me go to therapy because of Tesla and I don't even own one! For the non-owners, I would add that knowing about Tesla and having test driven one Model S makes you single-themed in conversations and, especially in Spain where practically no one knows about Tesla or EV's, it makes you sad when they don't understand your hype about model x, model 3, powerwall, gigafactory, autopilot, ludicrous mode,... Thank God I found the best place to share my craziness .
My wife refers to my car as "your mistress".
Oh one more reason! All the car commercials on TV are now just boring!!!
I got a strange turn-on by this... :redface:With autopilot enabled you might only get to 69.
I sense a new wiki thread coming soon: Why my Tesla is better than a [boy/girl] friend.J
Afterwards, she told me the guys said "she doesn't need a boyfriend, she has a Tesla!"

How about "Top 10 reasons a Tesla is better than a boyfriend/girlfriend."I sense a new wiki thread coming soon: Why my Tesla is better than a [boy/girl] friend.

There's a lot of potential here... things like "actually looks cool when handles stick out."
Or "only minimal foreplay required before you plug in and go to sleep."
Etc.
I share this problem. I've attempted to mitigate the phenomenon by trying very, very hard not to be the one who *initiates* the Tesla-related conversation. Because once it gets started, I'll go on forevah. The biggest challenge, honestly, is to avoid having my childlike excitement being interpreted as dooshy bragging. I try to play it cool and not get over-excited... but I fail more often than not. The best I can muster is to not be the person who starts the conversation... which is good because I rarely have to. :biggrin:I agree about the single-themed conversations. The director over my department at work told me he should have a stopwatch to time how long it takes me to start talking about Tesla when he sees me.
I fully agree that the Model S channels the spirit of a cheetah. I am reminded of the comment of a friend while observing a cheetah on safari, "Doesn't she just look fast." So true, and with cat's eyes to match. All that is missing is some wicked incisors when opening the frunk.
BTW, my forum name is Swahili for... cheetah.
And a cheetah can't operate at top speed for very long...

I didn't know how to answer that and not be a douche... so I dodged it. Sigh...
Yeah. Several people I know, even though they make 6 figures, don't want to spend more than about $12k-15k for a car. So I've gotten some criticism purely for buying it.
