'You have to compartmentalize': Bay Area Tesla drivers cringe at Elon Musk

[riri]

Rampant conformity and vapidness if why we are where we are.

[lump in the melting pot]

That does not sound very intersectional of them. I thought the guiding principle of leftist politics is that if it’s not perferctly woke, burn it all down?

[Allegra]

…by expressing their intense love for their Tesla.

An inanimate object. Liberals are so weird.

Now, he says of Musk, “He’s become like a pariah. He’s saying things that don’t jibe with the way I look at the world at all.”

Shame on the people who raised a generation to think the world revolves around what they think. 🙄

[FrankRizzo890]

Or “long COVID”.

“These days when someone cuts me off, I wonder if it’s because of Elon.”

Nah. People are cutting you off because of climate change.

--------------------

His name sounds 'white' - maybe he's being cut off because people see 'white privilege'/s (don't you love people who project?)

Or maybe no one really notices him and they're in a hurry - involved in their own lives and 'cutting him off' is a byproduct of their own self absorbed naval gazing liberalism.

[BitWielder1]

No, he cut you off because he did not agree with your pronouns.

Or maybe you were just in the way.

I don't care what *kind* of car I yield to or merge in front of, unless it's much bigger than mine, like an 18-wheeler.

"These days when someone cuts me off, I wonder if it’s because of Elon.”

It's because of the pink hair and the Biden-Harris bumper sticker.

[Sirius Lee]

he will still use his Apple iPhone constructed by slave labor in China.

If it weren't for double standards...

[ConservativeWarrior]

So tell me. Is there anything that’s NOT about you and your electric car?

Haha... Wonder what they would talk about if they were also gay. Homosexuals can’t go 5 seconds without thinking or talking about being homosexual.

“I have decided I’ll never buy a Tesla. If many people make that choice, it should send a powerful message.”

Yes, and that powerful message is that people prefer gasoline-powered cars. Boycotting the most popular brand of EVs will not send the message idiot leftists think it will.

[I want the USA back]

Apparently a car is a political statement, for some people who have nothing important on their microscopic minds.

[dsrtsage]

There s no bias at all in the news at all. That’s why people get so incredibly angry when somebody somewhere is permitted to say something somewhat conservative

[Jeff Chandler]

no conservative will buy an electric car unless given no other option

I'm a conservative, and my automobile purchasing decisions are based upon careful cost/benefit analysis. If an electric car suits my needs for a reasonable price, I will choose to buy one.

[Jeff Chandler]

Yes, inconsiderate drivers are frequently cut off in traffic.

[Jeff Chandler]

Apparently a car is a political statement

Yep. Tesla, Prius, etc.

[Honest Nigerian]

Most of the time people make decisions emotionally, and justify them intellectually.
Even crazy people do this.

[cuz1961]

And another useful idiot commie meets another useful idiot commie on the open road

and STILL can’t figure out there is no honesty or loyalty among useful idiot commies.

[willk]

“No need to worry about that, no conservative will buy an electric car unless given no other option - which is why they’re in the process of mandating it.”

I’m conservative and I own an electric car. I love new technology.

“$400 for one tire.......no wonder Elon is a multi-billionaire. SMH”

Tesla doesn’t make the tires. And that $400 would be for any car running Michelin sport tires.

[minnesota_bound]

#14 they even have comfortable suicide nets around the building at work to relax in on their breaks.... : )
