Yeah it was legitimately the only viable EV when I got one. I still love the car but am absolutely embarrassed by it because of that asshole.
Have you considered living your life and not worrying about what other people think?
Poorly worded on my part. I genuinely oppose everything Elon Musk stands for, so it's more like cognitive dissonance than embarrassment.
Nobody follow this person's advice. I am old, and one of the best things about life now is the freedom not to give a fuck about the dumbass judgemental thoughts of others. I do what I want regardless of what people think, and life is great.
There’s nothing wrong with or abnormal about being aware of your image or how you are perceived. Knowledge of self and self awareness and all that. Standard unavoidable reality of life.
Didn’t say there was?
That's like saying you are embarrassed by an Android phone
Android was never the only player in the cell phone OS market. Tesla was the only player in the EV market until last year more or less
Android is still the only player in the cellphone market if you don't want to be treated like a brain damaged gerbil who can't be trusted with accessing a file system.
Last year? Dude there have been viable alternatives for years now.
Tesla has definitely invested more heavily in infrastructure (mostly charging network) then any other manufacturer producing electric cars in the US.
