    No. They are gayer than Christmas.

    Christmas is gay?

    It's a pain the ass, but gay?

    Do you:

    Hate cars that are really smooth and powerful?
    Lack the funds to buy a high end car?
    Love the smell of gasoline and think time spent at a gas station is time well spent?
    Have a 300 mile commute?

    If you answered no to all of those questions, you might just be in the market for a gay Tesla.

    The truly powerful ones cost $60k or more. Not attainable for 95% of Americans. Range anxiety and waiting to recharge are also still big issues unless you never drive other than commuting to work and the grocery store.

    Another question to add here:
    - Do you want a car with an interior that isn't built from cheap plastic with zero design cues?

    The Tesla interiors are pretty chintzy.

    Very few people drive further in a day than the range of even the smallest battery Tesla. If I owned one and it were my only vehicle, I'd have to stop on the road to charge less than a half dozen times per year, and this from somebody with a 70 mile round trip commute and family over the mountains. I would cumulatively spend more time at gas stations over the course of that same year with a gas vehicle.

    I don't own a Tesla nor have I even sat in one, but I have a lot of experience with electrics, and there's no looking back. I have a gas truck because electrics can't tow, but otherwise everything plugs in. The overall experience is waaaaaaay better than what I had before. I would bet that today's young people have way more anxiety over their fucking phone running out of battery than we have about our car leaving us stranded, yet if you were to try selling any of them a phone with a battery that could be charged nearly instantly but only by pulling over at one of the designated charging stations on the side of the road once or twice per week, they'd tell you to fuck off. Plug in, go to bed, it's ready to go when you get up in the morning. Most convenient thing ever.
