We have a Tesla- I don't get the hype, tbh. It's cool for about a second when you accelerate past someone. Other than that, meh. It's just a fancy toy.

From what I have observed irl, I think the car is an ego booster for a lot of people. They say they're doing it for the environment, but that's bullshit, imo.

I think it makes them feel cool and elite- like they're better than the rest of society. I can see it in their attitude when they drive.

Everyone I know who has one (including immediate family), are very narcissistic people in other areas of their lives. They seem to be carrying it over into their car choice.

I feel safer and more in control with my older fuel cars. The less gingerbread, the better.

Personal preference, I guess. If you can afford one and like it, get it.

To each his or her own.
