   I detest Elon. I knew he was a horrible person when I bought our model 3 in 2018. It was the first model in a price range we could afford.
   We lived near the factory and several neighbors worked there.
   We lived in the mountains, , the savings on fuel, oil changes, brake jobs, exceeded the monthly payments.
   I was stunned by how well it handled, even in a snowstorm that shut down the freeway, we comfortably exceeded the speed limit.
   Six years later, we have driven it from Santa Cruz to Boston and it has never once had an unscheduled outage.

     In my opinion, Teslas are like Toyota Corollas at the price-point of a Mercedes-Benz with the quality-control of a Huffy bike and the ultimate status symbol for those with disposable income.
