This must be the silliest reason to sell a Tesla

[Shateam]

These threads are great for exposing the nutters that are crafty enough to generally fly under the radar in mixed company.

Agreed, though it’s challenging enough to debunk some of the myths regarding electric cars!!

Let me save you a headache and prevent possible strain on your marriage...... I'll take your Tesla for $1500 and willing to sign a waiver that I will not go after you for any future testicular issues =)

Probably just what the Maserati-hockey-parent was thinking....

 

[Hank42]

I offer $28k for the car, and $10 for the wife.

You are being generous - you couldn't pay me to take a wife with such a ridiculous attitude!

 

[Joelgjr]

this post is weirder than when the kid posted a few weeks ago with the go fund me asking for money to buy a tesla

 

[Loco_Nomad]

that is why I never talk to other parents... they always have some crazy theories that make no sense... I swear most of them wear foil hats and never let their kids use electronics ...​

So I bought my wife a16 MS 75 a couple months ago and she absolutely loves it but after a brief conversation with one of the hockey parents my wife comes home and refuses to drive the car. She tells me she doest want it and to get her any other car but a Tesla or EV for that matter. Puzzled I ask why. She tells me that this hockey parent was also looking to switch from a Maserati but after extensive research found that the Tesla causes testicular cancer as well as Leukemia. Now i know that it's a bunch crock but how do I calm her down and keep from making what I think is a mistake by trading the Tesla? I personally think its silly but even if there's a 1% chance of it being true I cant have her driving the car as my kids(and of course my wife) spend most of their car rides in it. What do I do and how can I make her feel safe in it? Anyone?

If your wife is concerned that she might get testicular cancer, I think you have a problem!

does your wife have testicles ?

 

[bthienthai]

It's a lose-lose situation. If you keep the car, and if it's true, you'll get testicular cancer. If you sell the car, you create a silly precedent. Either way, you don't get to keep your balls.

 

[Scrith]

Ask her which type of car she'd rather sit in while the vehicle is running in a closed garage.

Also, don't go near any power producing windmills. LOL

Reminds me of the time when my uncle saw that I bought a Tesla. He immediately says that I’m crazy for buying a radiation barrel (his words) when I have 3 small children. I said it’s gotta be better than a combustion barrel.

 

[dblankenbaker]

Me: <had leukemia before buying/riding in a Tesla>
Me: <bought Tesla>
Me: <leukemia is now 'undetectable'>

So maybe Telsa/EV exposure actually kills cancer?
(...could also be the chemotherapy, but I doubt it)

Well, at least she only has to worry about one of those two....

False claims about climate are believed by millions in America.
False claims about vaccinations are believed and that has resulted in measles spreading fast. Even on a cruise ship that is quarantined now.
Dr. Katharine Hayhoe has great examples of how to deal with climate denial and they apply to any other type of science/engineering/technology.

The other person is just mad that their Maserati is losing value. They are just Tesla haters.

Me: <had leukemia before buying/riding in a Tesla>

You had leukemia and then bought a Tesla. I had Hodgkin's Disease and then bought a Tesla (or two).

Based upon my exhaustive research, cancer causes Teslas.

 

[SpartyTM3]

Tell her the same authoritative source has shown that talking on cellphones and being in front of TV are bigger causes of cancer!

Well if your wife doesn’t have a set of balls then she’s ok with not getting testicular cancer. On the other hand she might get leukemia. But I doubt it. Good luck!

a. "the batteries are all pointed down, completely harmless to passengers, unlike other EV manufacturers. Even the tesla symbol points "down" Nothing to worry about .... Saaaay, Isn't it about time we went shopping for that ........... you wanted? You have been such a joy to me that I just can't buy you enough pretty things".

b."yes my dear, whatever you say my dear"
choose one and pray

I would genuinely like to know the sources of this data and the studies that concluded that we need to give it a look and consideration?

For what it's worth, I found this:
