Ever since getting an EV, I’ve noticed drivers to be a-holes! This guy in a huge truck spit in my direction for no reason!
All over social media people will key teslas, and talk crap. Has anyone else had weird experiences?

One thing I thing many people overlook is how in many ways, and for many people, an electric car is a more PLEASURABLE option over gas vehicles.
No oil changes, no warm up time, 99% of the time there’s no ‘fueling up’ out in the cold (charging at home in the garage), and they’re smoother, quieter and faster.
The arguments over “which is greener” and how it’s some giant conspiracy lie are arguments that will exist until this generation is dead. “Those dang horseless carriages WILL NEVER replace a horse!!!”
It’s not a giant conspiracy, it’s just that cars are extremely inefficient transportation and are unsustainable, and dangerous. The goal should be reducing car usage to as little as possible and what’s left should be electric. I don’t think your horse and buggy analogy is applicable here because you’re the one who’s advocating for a nearly 100 year old technology over modern design and infrastructure principles.
Personally I’d rather have an electric car than a gas car but I’d rather not have to own a car at all. I’d rather have safe, walkability with public transit so robust that I can get anywhere I need to go without checking a schedule.
