    Perhaps not, but believe it or not, you CAN sell your car and buy a different one instead. If you actually hate him that badly, that is.

      You can sell your car and buy a different one instead if you have enough money to pay the extra on top of the trade-in and if you don’t mind being needlessly wasteful because you hate the president of the company you bought the car from when you didn’t hate him yet.

      Why would any rational person do such a thing?

        If you have the money to afford a Tesla I’m just going to assume that you have the money to buy almost any other car as well.

          That’s an odd assumption. Especially when the cost of living has risen substantially since 2008 when Teslas first came out.

          It sounds more like you have money to be able to afford to do such things.

            There’s over half a million homeless people in this country and you want me to care about mildly inconveniencing someone who drives a Tesla? Please.

              “These people are suffering, therefore this other person should do something wasteful that they may not be able to afford” is not rational.

              The way you use homeless people as a bludgeon in a discussion about Teslas and to evade accusations about your financial privilege, it doesn’t seem like you care about them, either.

              Didn’t you just accuse me in another comment of being blind to irony?

              :P
