Tesla Motors Club

I am growing very tired of the negativity from the media and the uneducated people slamming Tesla. From the people I work with, and have minimal conversations with regarding the brand and particularly most of the media in general. How many of you have ever had the pleasure of driving a Tesla automobile? How many of you can open your mind a little to even test drive one? All you want to do it criticize the company and it's products. Most of what you say is untrue and spoken by people that have not ever experienced "Life with a Tesla"

I spent 4 years researching the car before I placed my order and spent countless hours doing cost analysis to justify my investment before moving ahead. I am not rich just an average American "Car guy" who did my due diligence before taking the plunge. I have owned over 35 new cars in my life, mainly because none of them ever really hit the mark. They all make unneeded noises, annoying shifts from something called a transmission, require continuous changes of fluids, brakes and more....they smell when you are driving behind them, you constantly have to switch your foot from the accelerator to the brake pedal sometimes hundreds of times in a single trip, not to mention stopping at those smelly stations, and to add more fluids to the car. You know those places that emit cancer causing fumes from the vent pipes attached to those underground fluid tanks. Yes, they DO cause cancer. Every time I learn about one of my friends or family members with cancer I can't help but think, what if?

I would suggest this to "ANYONE" who wants to criticize any company that makes such effort to improve the world we live in, and who works diligently to build a car that is by Far better than any ICE car on the highway today, to go to a Tesla store, schedule a test drive. Then come back and give your honest opinion.
