Well, if he can piss high enough to hit where I grab the door to open, then I leave him alone! But for me, it's stainless steel I'm not going to be triggered by that.
Not sure Colorado sees the hate more. In my neighborhood there are 2 or 3 almost on the same street and when the tonneau trim was flying off I saw another one in town with missing trim. I just think you have more people on drugs and as a result probably a higher probability of encountering brain damaged people.
I would imagine it depends on where in Colorado ? Boulder and Denver voted HEAVILY against Elons views
The irony is that the nutty haters arenāt white liberals that voted left. Theyāre usually crackheads or diesel bros so thatās a much safer way to rationalize it so you donāt get yourself in trouble. Thereās no benefit to getting worked up over what a crackhead is getting worked up over. Thatās a losing proposition. If you go to Texas youāll find that a majority of Tesla owners are minorities that probably donāt lean left. In Colorado itās more of the white liberal crowd so thereās that privilege at work but I donāt think theyāre the haters. I got a lot less attention in Colorado than Texas even when I was one of the first CTs on the road there but there is certainly a liberal bias because itās ānot priced like a Subaruā or whatever. In Texas people would go out of their way to throw a thumbs up and Iāve had everyone from young black dudes to King of the Hill types gushing over it. So I think the haters are disproportionately represented online just given the amount of positive interaction Iāve had with random people between TX, NM, CO, and UT. Thereās also a manifestation of status anxiety at play and that really comes with any vehicle but CT is almost the perfect symbol of a certain class that has āwonā while the rest have been āleft behindā and thereās a natural human impulse associated with trying to prove your value when confronted with that reality, especially when taking into account economic circumstances of the last 4 years.
Just another reason why everythingās better in Texas ?
Oh no I hate it there. Itās basically communist China all around. So weird as a dystopian polar opposite to California. If California is actual China Texas is like some alternative China that leans into a different ideology but still practices the same things. You can only truly understand it if you grow up there and leave and come back.
Iāve only visited Nashville and Austin and loved them both and the people but Iām sure people who visit LA feel the same in a short period so I get it
The two aren't inextricably linked. There are plenty on this forum who have no love for one, but plenty of love for the other.
Have you experienced anything like this yet? I too have gotten aggressive reactions but also sort of feel the same way you feel. But when they are swerving at you on the freeway itās another level. Iāve gotten middle fingers and thumb downs signs but the last driver (with another guy in the passenger side) flipped me off as I was pulling out of Tractor Supply then caught up with me at the light. Flipped me off again and they looked like they were about to do something so I sped off (luckily the light just turned green). I will post the video. I did absolutely nothing. Did not acknowledge them. Did not react. So bizarre.
Donāt shoot someone for pissing/spitting on the truckā¦ thatāll land you prison. Good rule of thumb: if you have to ask the question ācan I shoot?ā The answer is no. Youāll know if you CAN shoot when you NEED to shoot.
