@davidgerard As someone who owns a Tesla, those guys are complete morons.

If you're THAT obsessed over something, you deserve to be made fun of until you break. And then some more for good measure.

It's a freaking car, not a Messiah!

@nanianmichaels @davidgerard how can you tell someone drives a tesla? Don't worry, they'll tell you! ;)

@nathanu
*slow clap* 😝 Good one.

I usually don't say anything about it unless asked.

This was an exception, because I wanted to really drive home the point of "don't wrap your identity around a thing".
@davidgerard

@davidgerard this is awesome. I will use that.
@davidgerard My version of this is putting just the slightest edge in my voice when I say "Oh, you drive a Tesla?" I give it a little twist of pity (like saying 'you drive a Fiat' in the 1980s) and judgment (like saying 'you support David Duke' in the 1990s) that all adds up to a thinly veiled "I would never drive one of those" without being outwardly confrontational. Let's all do a little something to make driving a Tesla socially unacceptable.
@davidgerard
It's funny because tesla charges thousands for anything other than the "default". Then they gave up with paint for the cyberturd.

The cybertruck opens all kinds of new opportunities of sarcasm
@Kozmo
You mean those things people are making themselves with spare sheet metal?

@davidgerard

Joking is a common way to convey unpalatable truths, or mess with people's heads.

@davidgerard where the "things you can say to piss off men" guy, he needs to add this to the list
@davidgerard “Prius” damn. That’s harder than “Camry”, which I’ve used.

Some other quotables...

" Oh, you drive the not a Lucid model? "

" Ah, I see you have fallen for the not a Rivian truck marketing. Huh. "

" Cool, so you got the new Electric Edsel? "

" What's the difference between literally all trucks and the wankpanzer? You don't have to read the manual to find out the wankpanzer has a anti-hose mode. "

" Shame about the wankpanzer not covering Hosed Mode. Should of RTFM'd? "

@fortboise @davidgerard

Did Nazi that comment coming back but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it's an election year so the ❄️'s get all charged up around this time of year. *sigh*

@davidgerard im absolutely breaking out "I like your new Prius"

@davidgerard

"Huhn! Look kinda like a cheese grater, don't it?"

@murodegrizeco @davidgerard Always laugh and point when you see a cybertruck. Normalize full-on scorn.
@davidgerard "Is this the new Ford Raptor? I didn't know it came in brushed aluminum" to a cyber truck bro.
