      If you are this inconvenienced by driving a Tesla that puts me off from buying or renting one, since I wouldn’t want to go through that. Makes me want to stay away from Tesla with what a hassle it is. I’d ask for another loaner personally, but more power to you for wanting to keep sticking with it.

          Yeah plan to. It seems like a very scary car to be associated with in the current public climate. Brand has become radioactive and too ideological tied to political figures. Seems like anger is just slowly increasing over the past several weeks too.

              I don’t think people are trying to change minds anymore. I don’t think people even believe it is possible to change minds. I think it’s to make people afraid to make future rentals or purchases or associations unless they are a strong party affiliate.

              It had me start looking into stocks of BYD and other competitors wondering where investors might flow to if the cultural sentiment keeps escalating to a full on alt right brand.
