This must be the silliest reason to sell a Tesla

[s1rk]

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 =)

ALTERNATIVE: you drive the Tesla, and get her a Corolla....that outha do it

Clearly even the corolla, with its high voltage ignition coils is even more dangerous than a Tesla. The only safe choice to protect her testicles is a horse and buggy. And no new fangled electric lights either! Plain old oil lamps for lighting.

Get a new wife

 

[whitex]

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?

Point her to actual studies of "wonderful effects" of exhaust fumes and gasoline fumes on humans. Then tell her you heard that listening to those hockey parents causes premature aging. The proof is the same as that Tesla causes cancers (maybe more, constant stress worrying about conspiracy theories could very conceivably age you faster). Next time your wife sees another sign of aging, you can say "see, told you not to talk to those people".

This post has bought significant tears to my eyes, and my gut is aching from laughing so hard. Thanks EVSA for that. You made my day. And, my sincere apologies for having a wife so gullible. I know I couldn't afford one like her! Nice try. keep the S for yourself and by her something her "friends" think she should have.

 

[BoerumHill]

NO!!!

Welp. Enjoy the new Maserati!

"They're my children too: not only would I not put them at risk for cancer, but I got a special car to protect them: the SAFEST CAR EVER MADE -- a Tesla."

You could also say listening to hockey parents is bad for your health and finances because it leads to divorce...

Lobotomy was used to cure hysterical women until late 60s .

Maybe it also fixes extreme gullible people too ?
Now that I think of it, extensive research shows that it does !

 

[srredbeard]

NO!!!

I do believe you are SOL. Good luck reasoning with her.

Let the bidding begin, I will give you $1600 for the S.

 

[Cirrus MS100D]

we should ALL be concerned about prolonged effects of cellular and wifi radiation. I love how people are so flippant about this when there is data out there that shows there are reasons to at least give it a look and consideration

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?

 

[EYSA]

Am I the only person here wondering why your wife is worried about testicular cancer?

We have 2 boys and a girl.

Let the bidding begin, I will give you $1600 for the S.

Do I hear 1700?

Do I hear 1700?

Ill give you 25000

 

[EYSA]

Ill give you 25000

Do i hear $26k?

 

[EYSA]

In all seriousness I'm gonna give it a few days and hope she comes to her senses otherwise i'll buy her another car and drive the S till I sell it. It will delay the purchase of my weekend car but I'm fine with it as long as she's worry free.

Tell her you will gladly accept a slight risk of testicular cancer rather than accepting her castration plan by selling the Tesla.

 

[LCR1]

I'd tell her to drive it until her friend brings up some kind of proof. Letting stupid people infect other people with stupid is why the world will end, don't let your wife get infected.

Tell her that her testicles are safe.
