Richard LittlerI saw someone driving a Tesla today. It must be gutting to have spent all that money on a car only for it to be now perceived by other road users as a kind a 4-wheel toupee.
Eleanor@Richard_Littler The only Tesla driver I know has just crashed his. Presumably out of embarrassment.
Ronan@Richard_Littler of all the possible hot takes this night be the hottest
Paul Lalonde@Richard_Littler Sure as fuck isn't making me happy.
Don Whiteside@Richard_Littler @cstross Marco Arment has referred to it as a rolling MAGA hat which seems super apt.
Jeff Craig@Richard_Littler There are two kinds of Drivers I see habitually backing into parking spaces: people is ridiculously large pickups, and Teslas.
Admittedly, Tesla Drivers do this because of bad design (charging port is at the back of the car for no good reason), but it is an interesting intersection.
Paul 🏳️🌈@foxxtrot @Richard_Littler oddly the taught method of parking in Europe is to back into the space, it's the preferred method here.
Luna@Richard_Littler I call them $60,000 MAGA hats.
stoicmike@Richard_Littler Their future turns on whether they can sell the 30K cars. The more expensive 80K cars are troubled by so many unexplained crashes.
Hello, yes, this is Gregly@stoicmike @Richard_Littler Therein lies a bit of a problem for them… if the $80k cars are experiencing so many unexplained crashes (not to mention spontaneous fires), who in their right mind would buy the $30k *cost-reduced* model? 🤨
@glindsey @Richard_Littler Looking back, they bought Corvairs, they bought Broncos, etc. I bought an Aerostar van that disintegrated in about a year.

lp0 on fire 
I've not seen one being driven (that I recall), but there's one regularly parked a few minutes' walk from my current location…
sleepy@Richard_Littler never stopped people from buying high end audis, bmws, porsches, etc.

@Richard_Littler I get badly car-sick so I avoid cars. The vibrations and the faint whiff of fuel. Someone gave me an unexpected ride in a Tesla and it was the first time I felt completely fine. My cynicism almost allayed, worryingly. However, the owner's tales of woe that come with that vehicle are both hilarious and tragic. Not a car to be depended on apparently. There are regrets.
