Followed a Tesla this afternoon

It had a bumper sticker:
"Vintage Tesla
Pre-madness Edition"

I could sympathize with that owner.

They built a supercharger station 2 blocks away.
Most months I do 100% of my charging there. On Tesla’s nickel.

to people trying to get away from fossil fuels. Back when his dark side didn't show. For those who have buyer's remorse, I have sympathy. We've all made mistakes. Sometimes big ones. But people buying cyber trucks, I have ZERO sympathy. What a fugly Look at Me Me Me contraption. Those people really got took. All you can do its graffiti it and donate it.

The funniest "I Bought This Before Elon Went Crazy" bumper sticker I saw was on an aging Honda.

What kind of fantasies does the driver indulge in while driving the Swasticar?
