To be fair, he does have a point. It’s not nice to bully someone about their choice of car, IMO even big pickups with many externalities, but especially if the only reason is the owner being a douche (electric cars have less externalities than gas ones). I don’t know when or why he bought a Tesla but it really feels like petty outrage that undermines legitimate complaints about the current political climate.
How the heck is mom supposed to know what an fstab is?
