.....or maybe it's not hate at all despite TESLA's accolades. Maybe it's just a sincere dislike for the looks of the car or a sincere dislike for the driving dynamics (...
acceleration notwithstanding; we don't really buy BMW's for that reason anyway). Maybe it's a sincere lack of passion about the car. Maybe it's the lack of a manual transmission option in an EV. Maybe it's.......
....I think you get the gist of what I'm trying to convey.
I'm sure you're happy with your TESLA. Your elation is felt through your words. Obviously you are
passionate about the car and it checks the boxes on your
personal checklist. For others it doesn't have that same effect. If somebody gave me one I would commute in it, but there's no way in hell that I would give up my MT ICE ///M car for one. There's no way in hell that I would ever spend my hard earned money on one either. IF I had such a surplus of cash -
think, lotto winner - that it didn't matter (...
and I already had a Porsche GT3 in my garage along with an M), I might consider one.
