Ever since getting an EV, I’ve noticed drivers to be a-holes! This guy in a huge truck spit in my direction for no reason!

All over social media people will key teslas, and talk crap. Has anyone else had weird experiences?

    I was at a Tesla owners gathering at one of Alaska’s two superchargers. We had about 20 teslas parked there in -5 Fahrenheit, just standing around talking about teslas. A guy in an ICE truck stopped in front of us, then tried to spin out as he took off. It was a pathetic attempt since it was icy out and he still couldn’t manage a proper burn out. We just laughed because we knew our teslas could do a lot better. My conservative parents and relatives hate EV’s because they suddenly became environmentalists when they realized that they didn’t like mining for battery chemicals even though they want more oil drilling.

      Point out the 10’s of billions of lithium batteries used in cell phones, laptops, tablets, cordless power tools etc and see if they all stop using them.

        I think I should come up with a product that uses a chainsaw engine to power cell phones. I’ll call it “Freedom Power.”
