      I pointed it out to someone in the car with me and my face probably had a smile, as I joked about how pictures don’t do it service how ugly/odd it looked in person. Then we switched back to whatever topic we were talking about.

      Some people like odd shapes, some people make fun of it, some don’t care. There are plenty of things I’d never drive but might like to look at, some in appreciation, some in mockery.

      My main issues with Teslas are company and owner issues. Issues with cutting corners, his involvement with manipulating governments for Lithium, and the wild way he hires and fires people due to ego (reportedly fired entire Supercharger group because lead wouldn’t do anymore layoffs, and is desperately trying to rehire talent).

      I can discuss all that stuff with people without a scowl on my face, because I’m laughing at such dumb decisions. I don’t have any personal opinions about you really, other that you either don’t know that stuff or don’t care. I might make judgements if I confirmed you knew all that and still went for it, or if I knew you simped for him, but I couldn’t make that call just seeing one out on the street.
