RE: When Hate Goes Mainstream. What It Feels Like Driving a Tesla Today.
It is! I'm a lifelong democrat but the party has shifted so far to the left that I feel like I was totally abandoned. Where do you think the future of American politics is headed? I'm beginning to wonder

Amen! I fear what's going to happen to us if people don't begin using that thing between their ears. I even witnessed a U.S. Senator spreading blatant disinformation on X this morning and people were

I've never been to Spain but it looks incredibly gorgeous—a little like Portugal but with older buildings. I'm glad you've had such a great trip. You certainly deserve it.

What a good era for music. I was so into rap music during my teen years that I missed out on so much of it. Last summer my wife and I saw Duran Duran in concert at the Minnesota State Fair (they were

RE: Elon's gonna have to ban me from Grok.
It's another issue that's been politically polarized I think. I only hear people on the right discussing it.

Very cool! Which model did you ride in? We didn't see a whole lot of them when we were last there in 2019 but I imagine there are more now. I heard many of the black cabs in London are now EVs.

I wish more people had the ability to make that distinction! Or at least realize that destruction isn't the answer to their grievances.

That's true! He mentioned this on his recent appearance on the JRE Podcast. He said he went from being a lifelong moderate democrat to a right-wing extremist even though none of his stances or opinions

Certainly! Yeah, I don't agree with everything Elon says or how he conducts himself sometime. He's an impulsive person, that can work in his favor sometimes and other times it comes back to bite him in

Although I don't agree with all of Musk's actions I don't think the average consumer who purchases Tesla products with their own hard-earned money deserve to have their property destroyed. That was my

You're right, most people abhor change and likely always have. I remember reading stories about how people railed against electricity and automobiles when they were first introduced. People thought electricity

Thanks Lizelle. It's a very dangerous world we live in right now. I only hope people come to their senses before it's too late.

Thank you! We'll see if my lucky streak continues. : ) I totally agree. The inability for people to think clearly and come to their own conclusions these days are frightening. If you're on one side, the

Thanks, so far so good. I think about it every time I park though. So far, the Model 3 hasn't been the main target the CyberTrucks have. I think, mainly, because the media is focusing much of their negative

Yes, it's scary that the media can override people's sense of decency and civility--making them rationalize that destroying someone else's property is making any kind of difference.

You aren't kidding! This is so out of reach for 99.9% of people. Hopefully some of the tech trickles down into less expensive campers.

What a charming town! I haven't visited Germany yet but would like to. I'm always surprised by how clean the streets are and that the buildings are so well maintained. It's nice to see walls untouched
