France fuel price protests

Yes, I leave my Model S in the garage during the protests, as I really don't want to be blocked by protesters in an EV...
On the other end, media amplify a lot the mess, as always. This has been quite impressive in the Champs Elysees in Paris last week, but it's definitely not a new French Revolution :)

Do you like to mention to protesters that you drive an EV?
 
No, you need to avoid that, as this would be seen as a provocation. Besides this, a Tesla costs quite a lot (especially in France where people tend to put less money in cars than in other countries such as Germany or US/Canada), and the french mentality tends to be hostile/hateful to people who have expensive cars. I know this may seem strange (and stupid) from abroad.

I see you are from BC, we have been there last august (Vancouver, Victoria, Tofino, Whistler). I love it! We have seen a bunch of Teslas in Vancouver... Unfortunately we had to rent a nasty ICE :p (Chevy Malibu)

It does not have to be a Tesla. The Renault Zoe is already common in France and they even run ads for it years ago.
