And yet. I drive past hundreds of Tesla’s every morning and afternoon during my commute. Yesterday I saw 5 white model S in a row in the lane next to me.
Regardless of the whole Elon thing the drivers of Teslas are DOGSHIT.
Some of the fastest production vehicles ever made but the drivers are inept blind morons almost every time. The will pull out in front of you and then not speed up. They will block intersections during traffic because God forbid they miss one light cycle.
I’ve seen people making food with a tray attached to their steering wheel and on their phone using autopilot.
I’ve heard a theory that a lot of the H1B tech immigrants who literally do not know how to drive in the US are being told that Teslas are fully autonomous so they buy one and then find out that’s not the case. So they drive erratically, best case they’re following the rules of the road from their home country, worst case they’re completely winging it.
The average native driver here isn’t that much better. Source: I’ve lived here my whole life.
This is one thing that makes moving to Europe or the UK very appealing (if I would even still be welcome anymore). Everyone drives sooo much better on average, at least in all the places I’ve driven.
I got my license in the U.S. when I was 16. Then in my early 20’s I lived in England for few years. I was able to drive on my U.S. license for a year. During that year I had to go through the process to get an english license to drive in the country after that. I did the whole learners permit, driving lessons, etc that first year.
Let’s just say it was much, much, harder to get a driving license in England. I had driven over 100K miles in the U.S and 10K miles in the U.K by the time I took the test and I still barely passed it.
They absolutely are primarily driven by high earning tech immigrants in my area.
My Asian buddy got one a couple years ago and he was a fucking terrible driver in his Camry (every single panel had dings and scrapes) I cannot fathom the damage he’s been doing with his Tesla.
Used to be that BMWs were driven by the worst (asshole) drivers on the road. In the past year, my wife (first) and I have noticed that that crown now lies firmly on the head of Tesla drivers… and it’s not even close.
There used to be a 50/50 mix of ex Prius drivers that drive like a Granny and ex BMW drivers that drive like assholes. Now most of the people in category 1 have gotten rid of theirs, so it’s mostly assholes.

I hate Tesla drivers so much.

I wish it were that way here

I still fully think its BMW, with a surprise entry from VW owners. Dont know why, but Tesla seems to be #3 in my area
I think you might be making a generalization.
Obviously.
Well I can guarantee you that some Tesla drivers are pretty good, some are terrible, and some are in between.
Yes thank you I am aware how stereotypes work. It’s not all of them but it’s enough that people noticed a pattern.
