You're right because you're in the minority?

Government derived social engineering (point of a gun…in this case in the UK) is doomed and evil…
Nobody wants an electric car
Car ownership will soon be following home ownership into dramatic decline, driven off the road by central planning, and short-sighted, chaotic government policies. Instead, people will be forced onto shambolic public transport that might just about work in inner London, and within a few other major cities, but is practically non-existent in the suburbs, small towns or villages. In reality, the end of the car era will be the greatest backward step in living standards in recent memory. In terms of mobility and freedom it will take us right back to the 19th century - and it will be entirely our own fault.

Not true! I love my M3Perf - there is not another car on the market anywhere close to its price that has equivalent handling and power. It makes my son puke however - all the kids love Fast n Furious which breathed new life into all the tuner cars and made the 90s Skyline GTR legendary.

If it helps prevent sickness and death... why not.
Do you get flu shots? Shingles shots? Observe the speed limit? Wear a seatbelt?

Yeah... these Telsa price drops are crazy.
It's good for those who are able to get them when they are cheap but at the beginning of this year, the X cost $40k more than it is now. Which means you could have got both an X and a 3 for the same price today.

Oh... and by being under the $80k threshold, LR Model X now eligible for $7500 Fed credit (although the income restrictions should prevent that).
There is one Taycan at my country club and probably 100 Teslas. I rarely even see 911s now, actually more Ferraris and classic muscle cars. Tesla has destroyed Porsche / Mercedes sales up here.

Not really, hard to drop $90,000 on a car when you know so much goes to an, imho, unhinged megalomaniac billion actually doing evil in the world. I know several people who would be pretty typical Tesla owners that haven’t transitioned from other EVs to Tesla just because of him.
