I've been wanting an EV for some time and finally pulled the trigger. I purchased a used 2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance and so far I'm loving it besides one thing.

I live in rural western Pennsylvania, it's a very red section of the state. I honestly never expected that the car I drive to work with would be as devisive as politics. The amount of uninformed and stupid things people have said to me about my car has been mind blowing.

The one day I walk in and an older guy instantly jumps down my throat. Angrily he says let's have a race across the country and starts spouting some nonsense. Like why the hell would I ever want to drive across the county, I literally just drive to work 6 days a week.

I've been told that there's a tik tok video of someone saying it takes them 2 weeks to charge their car.

A friend of a friend's dad has a Tesla and the car ordered him a $40,000 battery all on its own.

I'm honestly not surprised by it, but it's crazy the absolute hostilely over a car that someone else doesn't have to use.
