One of my former coworkers was planning a trip to Spain a few years ago. It was going to cost her about $500 more to rent a car with an automatic, so I taught her to drive a manual in an hour or less in a Nissan Sentra. She wasn’t expert, but she could get around without stalling (much) and could even start on a hill.

Every driver should know the basics of driving a stick shift.

“At least the ones on this thread.”

Those same people laughed at Musk for not having a way to tow the vehicle.

This same port contains threads to screw in the tow eye which is stored in the trunk.

“Are you ok? Did you have a good cry because people don’t worship the Tesla and EV Gods?”


7. They are using displacement as a defense mechanism.
The bully in the previous point is an example of someone using the psychological strategy of displacement to deal with their negative emotions.

Essentially, displacement involves taking a hostile emotion from one situation and transferring it to another.

A person may, for example, take their stress, anxiety, or anger from one part of their life and find an outlet for it by knocking others down.

This is an unhealthy and destructive way to deal with one’s own difficult feelings.

12. They are unwilling to listen to an opposing point of view.
When a person holds a particularly strong stance on a topic, they are unlikely to be open to different points of view.

Some people can handle such disagreements in a mature manner, but others will seek to tear down the views and opinions that go against their own.

This can lead to attacks on the views themselves and put downs of the person who holds them.

Phrases such as, “You’re so naive,” “You don’t know what you’re talking about,” and “I can’t believe you really think that,” are all forms of belittling.

You got issues.

Hook up a bike to a generator and charge your toy electric car. Healthier for you.

10. They have low social and emotional intelligence.
Some people struggle to grasp many social norms. They do things that most others simply know not to do.

Neither do they have the emotional intelligence to understand that their actions directly affect how other people feel.

Mocking, making fun, and putting others down is something they do because they don’t receive the usual alarms in their mind that tell them what they are doing is not okay.

“700hp electric toy cars, torque”

“the Model S Plaid makes a Hellcat-smashing 1,020 hp and 1,080 lb-ft of torque.

With its horsepower and torque advantage over the Dodge, plus an all-important traction advantage, the 2022 Tesla Model S Plaid is quicker than not just the Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye, but literally every other car we’ve tested. The Model S Plaid sprints to 60 mph in 2.07 seconds and on through the quarter mile in 9.34 seconds at 152.2 mph. “
